About Rivian 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.

Support preliminary functional verification of software releases on test vehicle platforms, prior to hand-off to development and validation teams. Prototype tools and solutions to accelerate development and improve efficiency (e.g., Python scripts for parsing and analyzing vehicle data). Qualifications Direct, hands-on experience with software tracking systems and complex software versioning workflows, including coordinating changes across multiple parallel branches. Extensive CI/CD experience, including release coordination across concurrent development tracks. Experience in at least one of the following: vehicle controls/vehicle dynamics, perception systems, or ML model development and training. Proficiency with Git and software repository management tools, with a track record of managing complex branching structures. B.S. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field. Ability to work in a fast-paced development environment, proactively collaborating cross-functionally to solve vehicle-level integration problems.

How We Use AI in Our Hiring Process: To ensure transparency, we want candidates to know that Rivian uses iCIMS Talent Cloud Artificial Intelligence (TCAI) and AI-enabled tools to assist with screening, reviewing, organizing and highlighting profiles and applications that match the key requirements for each role. AI does not make hiring decisions: Qualified candidate applications are reviewed by a member of our team, and all decisions throughout the process are made by humans. We use AI to support efficiency and consistency, not to replace human judgment. We are committed to a fair, thoughtful, and equitable experience for every candidate. Participation in AI profile matching is entirely voluntary. If you prefer that your profile not be used in this process, you can opt out at any time. Opting out means your profile will be excluded from automated matching and will not be surfaced for additional roles through this system. Your current application remains active and will not be affected in any way. Interview Integrity & AI Policy Our interview process is designed to evaluate your personal technical foundation, real-time problem-solving logic, and structured capabilities. Therefore, the use of assistive generative AI tools to formulate or deliver your solutions during live interview sessions is not permitted. We care most about how you think - how you make sense of unclear requirements, weigh trade-offs, and explain why you chose one approach over another. We value your unique human perspective, your authenticity, and the journey it takes to reach a solution. Please note that we are currently not accepting applications from third party application services.
