Why join this early

Early means your fingerprints are on everything.

Right now EXCAR is a working prototype in a real car, a codebase three people know by heart, and a first product being designed around what we learn from real drives. Joining now means your decisions about architecture, about how EXCAR sounds, and about what it should never do, become part of the foundation.

It also means real constraints: limited runway, hardware that sometimes needs a hard reset, and a team small enough that "someone else will handle it" usually isn't true. If that sounds more exciting than exhausting, you might be a good fit.

What working with us is like

  • Direct access to the founders. No layers, no process for the sake of process
  • Decisions get made fast, and get revisited honestly when they're wrong
  • You'll touch hardware, not just code. This product lives in a car
  • We push back on each other, and expect the same in return
Where we could use help

Areas we're actively thinking about.

These aren't formal job postings with fixed scopes. They're honest descriptions of where an extra set of hands or a different perspective would help most right now.

Embedded & hardware engineer
EXCAR One has to survive a dashboard in July and a cold start in January. Power management, hardware interfaces, thermal behaviour, and the custom board that comes after the prototype.
High priority
Machine learning engineer
Training and evaluating EXCAR LLM alongside our AI lead: natural, low-latency conversation built for a moving cabin rather than a chat window.
High priority
Vehicle integration engineer
EXCAR Link and the per-vehicle layer behind it: OBD-II behaviour across makes and model years, read-only policy, and the compatibility work nobody sees but everybody feels.
Open
Mobile engineer
The companion app handles setup, voice enrolment, memory and device status. A clear backlog to take it from beta to release-ready.
Open
Industrial designer
EXCAR One should look like it belongs on a dashboard and nowhere else. Taking the current design through mechanical reality without losing what makes it feel calm.
