Now building our great team here at FF already at nearly 300 working and want to build further on this world class team. I'm looking to find the best talent available for all areas and all levels. Find out more at www.faradayfuture.com Electronics, Internet, Automotive, Aerospace. I have been fortunate throughout my career to have worked with some of the best people and companies in the world, working on some of the most exciting and innovative products imaginable. This new venture is an opportunity to bring together 35 years of knowledge and experience and focus this with others to create a new company, new products and realize the dreams. If we define the future based on current assumptions, we will never be able to create disruptive products and build a great company. I believe we need to define the future from the future perspective, then define our path. Our new company is based on this thinking, vehicles will be redefined, and we will persist and never turn back as long as it can light up people’s dreams. Our life in this universe is only a glimpse of time. We are fortunate enough to be in this world. Let’s do something to change society and mankind. This is the ultimate pursuit of us dreamers.VP Product Research & Development @ A founding member of the Executive team of FF, a new Connected Electric Vehicle company.
