Our company is a mobility startup aiming for mass production and social implementation of ultra-compact EVs, divided into single-seater and moped categories. We tackle regional mobility challenges and minimize environmental impact, building an integrated system from design and manufacturing to sales and after-sales support, and CRM. Mass production is scheduled to begin in October 2025, and we are promoting a business that redefines "mobility options."

This is a vehicle design engineer position for small mobility robots. In the initial phase of mass production, you will be involved in improving quality and assembly readiness, as well as developing future models and overseas expansion, covering the entire vehicle body—from the white body (framework) to exterior and interior parts, electrical wiring, and component design. You will not only turn designs into drawings but also collaborate with quality assurance and production management, consistently working on "how to bring this design to life."
