Rivian is on a mission to keep the world adventurous forever. This goes for the emissions-free Electric Adventure Vehicles we build, and the curious, courageous souls we seek to attract.

As a company, we constantly challenge what's possible, never simply accepting what has always been done. We reframe old problems, seek new solutions and operate comfortably in areas that are unknown. Our backgrounds are diverse, but our team shares a love of the outdoors and a desire to protect it for future generations.

Role Summary:

The Vehicle Applications teams' mission is to ensure our products are always ready for our customer's next adventure. We achieve that mission through a suite of applications that integrate our platforms. Building a vertically integrated company requires a vertically integrated software solution. Our team makes for every phase of the business, from the in-vehicle firmware to the cloud, embedded, and mobile applications to our B2B Fleet OS platform. Our team is responsible for Smart Diagnostics, Rivian's Diagnostic Engine that drives in-vehicle and remote diagnostics via manual, no-code, and ML-driven root cause analysis. We are developing the most advanced integrated diagnostic system in the world, capable of proactively monitoring, analyzing, and learning from our fleets throughout their lifecycle.

Responsibilities :

  • Define and decompose the strategy and behavioral logic that will control power to all devices in the vehicle—providing a seamless interactive experience for the customer.
  • Understand and decompose high-level attributes into system and subsystem- level requirements, working closely with firmware developers on implementation strategy.
  • Provide technical guidance to make critical engineering decisions related to vehicle power-moving's architecture and system design.
  • Identify optimizations and synergies across the vehicle. Bringing together feature champions and tech leads as needed to collaborate on design decisions and minimize overall power consumption.
  • Support the integration and triaging of vehicle power modes and sleep functionality issues.
  • Develop feature design implementations and rollout plans to support the product roadmap and timelines.
  • Work closely with firmware developers and engineers and manufacturing and service engineers to define feature metrics and drive power mode management diagnostic improvements.
  • Coordinate cross-functional design reviews to ensure a robust design and test strategy to meet program milestones.
  • Qualifications :

  • Bachelor of Science in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Software Engineering, or related field.
  • 5+ years of experience working on embedded systems, focusing on power management and startup/shutdown procedures.
  • Strong organizational skills can keep all stakeholders informed and engaged throughout the project life cycle.
  • Strong understanding of the trade-offs required to evaluate different design options properly.
  • Software development experience. Able to code, familiar with Git, Jira, and software development lifecycle.
  • Ability to decompose significant concepts into realizable deliverables and work with team members to distribute tasks and execute individual responsibilities with minimal guidance.
  • Ability to apply creative and critical thinking to deliver exceptional results.
  • Good communication, able to convey both detailed explanations and high- level status updates and know when each is appropriate.
  • Automotive, CAN; Ethernet experience is a plus.
  • This is where you'll work:
