Zero-emission solutions for cities. Human-centred, intelligent design - to revitalise public transportation.
At Arrival, our team is creating best-in-class electric vehicles using a radical new method of design and production. We work with some of the world's leading businesses and governments to achieve our goal of redefining mobility and transport ecosystems, transforming how people and goods travel and enhancing urban environments for all communities.
Innovation, rapid development and testing help us to push the boundaries. Our New Method takes our portfolio of patented technologies created in-house, and combines it with assembly in Arrival Microfactories. It’s a groundbreaking approach, leading to products with maximum functionality, peak efficiency, and an elevated experience – at a much more competitive price than other electric vehicles, and even fossil fuel vehicles.

Our microfactories are based on advanced robotics, thus mobile robots are a core component of our operations. While developing good prototypes is hard, design for manufacturing at scale is the real challenge. To have a sizable environmental impact, we develop, manufacture, and operate autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) in thousands of units. To this end, our robots rely extensively on robust and high-performing systems, yet they are still affordable. The only way to realize this goal is to build our AMRs from the ground up. Our vertical approach gives us full control over the hardware and software and allows us to replace expensive components through state-of-the-art algorithms and clever designs.
Now we are looking for an Electronics Team Lead to join the Mobile Robotics department. This person will be responsible for leading the Electronics Engineering (EE) team and all activities related to EE across all Mobile Robotics products and projects.
At Arrival we want all of our employees to feel comfortable bringing their passion, creativity and individuality to work. We value all cultures, backgrounds and experiences, as we truly believe that diversity drives innovation. Join our mission to bring better, more sustainable transportation to communities around the world.
