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. 

This candidate will initially focus on critical station software updates, helping us address current delays, before transitioning to focusing on the development of our LabVIEW base software. This will refine processes, mature software, and considerably reduce test engineering time during commissioning for future stations, while also enabling the creation of automatic PCBA testers for contract manufacturers. Furthermore, this role will be instrumental in training more engineers on our LabVIEW base software, used on many of our stations, which is currently only operated by one of our engineers.
