What It's Like to Work at Piaggio Fast Forward

As an engineer, I love the feeling of ownership over my part of a project; at PFF, I get the daily feeling that I’m making real contributions to something tangible and bigger than myself. This gives me a great sense of value and fulfillment.

PFF has a culture of respect and collaboration where ideas are welcomed and discussed attentively. We all share ownership of the product and you are never just a number here.

Since joining PFF, I've been able to test and develop my skills as an analyst while learning new things as I go. Everyone at PFF is very helpful and shares the desire to spread their knowledge in their fields.

PFF is full of so many great people which makes it fun to come to work each day. Everyone is supportive of both your personal and career goals and everyone really cares for each other. Having a dog-friendly office is also a huge plus!

I interact with various depts where I have gotten to learn new things about our products and process. Being eager to learn and having good communication skills make a huge difference in terms of your success at PFF. The company also drives to create a collaborative environment, so everyone is working together and working hard towards the same goal!

Currently my team is researching solutions for the qualification of pedestrian social etiquette. We dig deep into our data to find trends in human movement so our robots can fit better into the public sphere. It’s a hugely creative and novel team of scientists and designers aiming to define human patterns and refine human-robot interactions.

My vision is of a world in which vehicles like Piaggio Fast Forward’s gita® enable people of all ages and abilities to move further, faster, and more enjoyably. In the present era of AI, autonomy and ubiquitous networks, vehicles that promote walkability, human interaction and off-screen exploration will be fundamental to our sense of well-being.
