Electric micromobility vehicles designed for urban last-mile transportation
ALSO is an electric vehicle manufacturer spun out from Rivian, building small EVs and pedal-powered micromobility platforms for short urban trips. The stack reveals a hardware-first org: embedded systems languages (C, C++), automotive simulation tools (MATLAB, Simulink, ANSYS, CATIA), and vehicle diagnostics (CAN, Vector tools) dominate, with iOS and cloud infrastructure (React, CI/CD adoption) supporting mobile apps and fleet operations. Engineering hiring is accelerating sharply (61 roles, 36 senior-level positions), paired with active projects in drivetrain design, test fixtures, and cloud infrastructure—indicating they are scaling from prototype to production and managing distributed vehicle telemetry at scale.
Notable leadership hires: Vehicle CAD Lead
ALSO manufactures electric and human-powered micromobility vehicles targeting urban transportation and last-mile trips. The company was originally developed within Rivian before becoming an independent operation. Product lines include small electric vehicles and 4-wheel pedal-powered platforms. Operations span North America with active brand launches in Austin and Los Angeles, retail hub operations, and a mobile demo fleet. The engineering-heavy org is focused on vehicle design, drivetrain performance, manufacturing readiness, and the operational complexity of managing suppliers, cost modeling, and local market execution across multiple geographies.
Core stack includes C, C++, Python for embedded systems; MATLAB, Simulink, ANSYS, CATIA for vehicle simulation and CAD; CAN-based diagnostics (Vector CANalyzer, CANape); iOS/Swift for mobile apps; and cloud infrastructure with React and CI/CD tooling.
ALSO is based in Palo Alto, California, with active operations and brand launches in Austin, Texas and Los Angeles, California.
