Approximately 137 engineering positions will relocate from California to Texas and Oklahoma beginning in the fourth quarter of 2024, with the majority of roles based in Oklahoma.
One of the primary drivers for the move to Oklahoma is the co-location of engineering and manufacturing within the company’s nearly 500,000 square foot manufacturing facility in Oklahoma City. This strategic decision will drive operational efficiencies and foster greater collaboration as Canoo continues to meet goals towards step level ramp manufacturing.
