Teams at Also

Lead drive unit and actuator programs from architecture and prototyping through validation, industrialization, and mass production. Coordinate mechanical, electrical, firmware, test, supply chain, manufacturing, and design teams; manage requirements, schedules, risks, technical issues, certification, resources, and production readiness. The role includes supplier and contract manufacturer collaboration, NPI execution, tooling qualification, PPAP, DVT/PVT, first-article inspections, executive communication, and approximately 10–15% domestic and international travel.

Design and develop drivetrain structures for small electric vehicles, from 3D modeling and drawing packages through validation and mass production. Responsibilities include structural, NVH, sealing, and stress analyses; topology optimization; DFMEA development; supplier validation coordination; manufacturing collaboration; and hands-on prototype builds. The role requires expertise in mechanical integration, CAE analysis, loads, materials, GD&T, tolerance analysis, and high-volume manufacturing processes.

Designs and develops electromechanical actuators and motor-driven mechanisms for light electric vehicles, including braking and steering systems. Creates CAD models, drawings, manufacturing instructions, and validation plans; integrates electronics and embedded controls; leads DFMEAs and supplier validation; performs hands-on prototyping and testing; establishes actuator design standards; and mentors engineers.
