About the Role

We are looking for a Senior Reliability Test Engineer to help us make the best possible micromobility vehicles. You will assist in testing new features and new vehicles. You will work on everything from the brakes, to the structure, to the power train. Our vehicles get very well used, you will need to figure out how to test new designs the same way they get tested on the streets and then work with engineering to make them bulletproof. Come up with ideas for making the vehicles better and then make them a reality!
