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.

and tools that will support the development and validation of Rivian's Autonomy and ADAS
features. This role will work closely with the Autonomy team and will be responsible for
enabling the system validation engineers with the tooling, pipelines, and automation necessary to
acquire, ingest, process, and analyze data from the vehicle for ADAS/Autonomy features and
systems. The successful candidate will be highly organized, learn quickly, exhibit a can-do
attitude and have a passion for leading technical projects and solving engineering problems using
engineering principles, data analytics, computer programming and hands-on testing.

Develop, integrate and maintain software scripts, tooling and pipelines for data acquisition,
processing, and analysis.
* Develop robust and scalable solutions to ingest, store, and process vehicle and simulated data.
* Collaborate with engineering teams to define KPIs, success criteria and dashboards to analyze
datasets, track issues and extract meaningful insights related to feature performance.
* Develop and maintain in-vehicle data acquisition software and hardware, perform root cause
analysis and facilitate testing and validation activities through automation.
* Proactively identify and fill gaps as needed.

2+ years of experience in developing software using Python (including object-oriented
programming).

familiarity with time-series analysis.
* Basic knowledge of data engineering fundamentals and cloud-based services.
* Excellent analytical, problem-solving, communication and troubleshooting skills.
