Named a 2025 Time 100 Most Influential Company, Lime continues to set the pace for shared micromobility globally, spurring a new generation of clean alternatives to car ownership.

Are you ready to shape the future of micro-mobility systems? As a Staff Systems Architect, you will play a critical role in delivering the next generation of Lime vehicles and accessories by driving system-level technical execution across hardware, software, and firmware.

  • Own system integration strategy -ensuring subsystems (mechanical, electrical, firmware, software) align to deliver reliable, high-quality products.
  • Provide clarity on the technical program status for stakeholders, balancing technical depth with strategic insight.
  • Mentor engineers and program managers , providing guidance on technical execution and cross-disciplinary problem-solving.
  • Identify and mitigate systemic risks , navigating ambiguity to keep teams focused on program outcomes.
  • Champion continuous improvement in engineering processes , integration practices, and program execution frameworks.
  • Balance program priorities across cost, schedule, and quality while ensuring long-term technical scalability and innovation.

About You :

  • 6+ years of engineering experience in complex system development in the consumer-facing technology industry, with at least 3 years leading large, complex engineering programs in a cross-functional environment.
  • Strong technical background with demonstrated expertise in electromechanical systems, electronics, power, and firmware / software integration.
  • Proven success in leading system-level technical execution for large-scale, cross-disciplinary engineering programs.
  • Proven ability to engage and influence technical direction, balancing details with system-level decision-making.
  • Exceptional communication skills, capable of explaining complex technical issues to executives, engineers, and external partners.
  • Track record of navigating ambiguity and competing priorities, driving programs to successful delivery.
  • Preferred Experience :

  • Experience in micro-mobility, automotive, robotics, or related electromechanical industries.
  • Recognized as a subject matter expert in at least one technical discipline, able to bridge multiple domains.
