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.
The Role
As an Embedded OTA Validation & Tools Engineer own validation, automation, and operational readiness for firmware/software update delivery across our fleet of embedded devices. You will design and run validation test programs that ensure OTA updates are robust, secure, and reliable under real-world conditions — including intermittent networks, power faults, device restarts, and edge cases that matter to customers. You’ll work closely with Firmware, Release, QA, and Cloud teams to close the loop from release to fleet health.
What You Will Do
- Design, implement and execute comprehensive OTA validation plans across device families and release types (full OS images, firmware, bootloader, A/B updates, delta/patch updates).
- Build, manage and scale automated testbeds and harnesses (hardware-in-the-loop, virtualized devices, emulators) to run regression, integration, and stress tests for OTA flows.
- Implement automation for end-to-end OTA pipelines (from build artifact signing and staging to rollout and post-update verification) using Python, shell, and CI tools.
- Validate update mechanisms and components: bootloader, update agent, package formats, rollbacks, A/B partitions, and recovery modes.
- Test update resilience under adverse conditions: intermittent networks (cellular/Wi-Fi), high latency/packet loss, power interruptions, low-battery scenarios, storage constraints, and corrupted images.
