Responsibilities:
- Own the product requirements stack for vehicle, battery, motor/inverter, vehicle & communications controllers, charging/energy system and cloud/IoT — turn business goals into clear, testable specs and acceptance criteria including requirements for security & safety.
- Define customer-facing functionality & comms: rider HMI, app flows (onboarding, ride, payments, support), charging & swap UX, notifications, fault messaging, and over-the-air (OTA) update behavior.
- Lead asset & finance control features: telematics-driven asset state, immobilization/geofencing rules, usage-based restrictions, repayment logic, mobile-money integrations (e.g., M-Pesa), and lender/insurer data interfaces.
- Maximize reuse of the ALSO. platform electrical architecture, firmware services, diagnostics, OTA, data schemas, and dev tooling.
- Author & manage supplier requirements: write component-level specification, DVP&R and PPAP gates, and own compliance.
- Plan and run bring-up & validation: bench bring-up, subsystem and vehicle-level integration, performance & range tests and field pilots under African road, climate, and grid conditions.
- Operate early fleets: define pilot maintenance playbooks, telemetry dashboards, alert triage, root-cause analysis, parts containment, and firmware rollout cadence.
- Data as a product: specify data models (trip, charge/swap, SoC/SoH, faults), edge vs cloud processing, KPIs, and analytics that drive availability, TCO, and unit economics.
- Cross-functional leadership: align hardware, firmware, cloud, finance, operations, support, and market teams.
- Deliver on time: maintain a milestone-based roadmap, manage risks/backsourcing, and land spec-complete releases into production and scale-up.
Requirements:
- 8+ years in Product / Systems roles across EVs, power electronics, or connected hardware, with 3+ years leading cross-functional delivery (vehicle + cloud + app).
- Demonstrated responsibility for electrical & controls systems on a production vehicle or high-volume device: BMS, motor control (e.g., FOC), VCU/ECU integration, charger (on/off-board), and telematics.
- Hands-on with requirements engineering and acceptance testing from bench to road.
- IoT/telematics expertise: device provisioning, device identity, remote commands/immobilization, and reliable data sync in low-connectivity environments.
- Asset/finance integrations: experience connecting to lenders/insurers, building payment state machines, and working with mobile-money or Payment Service Providers; comfort with Know Your Customer/Anti-Money Laundering workflows.
- Data & analytics: define schemas for trips/energy/faults, set KPIs (availability, SOH decay, cost/100 km, revenue recovery), and build dashboards for operations & finance decisioning.
- Supplier management: authored component specs, ran vendor evaluations, negotiated SLAs/warranties.
- Tooling: CAN analyzers, HIL rigs, JIRA (or similar), Confluence, Git-based flows, and a comfort with reading logs, DBCs, and firmware release notes.
- Communication & leadership: crisp writing, decision logs, stakeholder alignment, and the ability to turn ambiguity into a prioritized, shipped plan.
- Education: Bachelor’s in Electrical/Computer/Mechatronics Engineering or similar; Master’s preferred (or equivalent practical track record).
