Staff Wire Harness Design Engineer
About ALSO.
We’re ALSO, an electric mobility company originally conceived as a part of Rivian. We’re a passionate team of builders, dreamers, doers and innovators, focused on creating entirely new (not to mention, innovative and delightful) vertically integrated, small EVs designed to meet the global mobility challenges of today and tomorrow. Our mission is to inspire everyone to ride ALSO—replacing many local car, truck and SUV miles with ones on vehicles that are more affordable, more enjoyable and 10-50x more efficient.
ALSO is looking for a Staff Wire Harness Design Engineer with expertise in wire harness design and manufacturing to design and integrate the electrical wiring, harnesses, connectors, and electromechanical components that power our next-generation light electric vehicles.
As a core member of the early team, you'll help shape vehicle architecture from the ground up on a new, clean-sheet platform, with real influence over key technical decisions as the product scales. Our development pace is rapid, so we're looking for someone who thrives on creativity and can distill complex requirements into elegant, practical design solutions.
What You'll Do
- Own the development of vehicle-level interconnect diagrams.
- Collaborate closely with electrical and mechanical engineering teams to define, route, and integrate harnesses into tightly packaged 3D environments.
- Design wire harnesses using 3D CAD (ideally CATIA), ensuring proper mechanical fit, clearances, install paths, and serviceability.
- Select appropriate conductors and connectors based on power requirements, signal integrity, and environmental targets—helping to define those targets where needed.
- Build and modify prototype harnesses using hand tools, 3D-printed parts, and bench equipment; support rapid iteration and debugging.
- Guide the harness from concept to production, including architecture, design, sourcing, testing, validation, and manufacturing.
- Work with contra...
