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.

Role Summary

As a Staff Software Engineer within the Integration team, you will develop the software, services, and applications to support ultra high speed manufacturing.

Software design responsibilities will include the design of cloud, edge, and embedded backend services, specification of appropriate compute (virtualized, data center, embedded, or simply PC), and develop robust software, reliable systems, and maintainable software. To help Rivian produce the most Factories in record time, you will collaborate with many cross-functional Rivian teams to develop a cohesive environment. When working with other teams to develop our factories, you will assist with RFQ preparation, design reviews, and commissioning. You will establish deployment plans and test plan execution at Rivian facilities during new factory builds.
