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.

KPI Development & Monitoring: Establish and maintain fleet utilization and performance KPIs to drive efficiency, reliability, and data-driven decision-making.
Vehicle Preparation & Instrumentation: Coordinate operations for installation, calibration, and operation of advanced instrumentation and measurement equipment (e.g., accelerometers, strain gauges, force transducers, CAN loggers).
Quality & Defect Management: Lead defect triage and issue traceability, ensuring timely root cause analysis and corrective actions coming from the fleet.
Compliance & Homologation Support: Manage vehicle test planning in alignment with global homologation, durability, and safety requirements.
Operational Leadership: Mentor and guide technicians and test operators, fostering best practices in fleet utilization, safety, and reliability engineering.

What You Will Bring
Experience: Engineering or technical degree preferred or 8+ years in vehicle testing, fleet operations, or durability testing, with at least 3 years in a leadership or staff-level role.
Instrumentation & Data Expertise: Deep experience with vehicle instrumentation and data logging systems.
Tools & Platforms: Hands-on experience with requirements management tools (e.g., JAMA), planning platforms (JIRA, Confluence), and automotive communication protocols (CAN, CAN FD, SPI) with Vector tool proficiency.
Homologation Experience: Familiarity with global homologation requirements, including durability and compliance testing.
Leadership Skills: Proven track record of leading cross-functional test teams, managing large vehicle fleets, and driving execution in complex technical environments.
Adaptability: Comfortable working in a fast-paced, dynamic environment and able to ride and evaluate two-wheeled vehicles across a range of power levels.
