Jobs at Rivian and Volkswagen Group Technologies, LLC

Lead end-to-end testing for automotive infotainment firmware and features. Develop and execute test plans, design automated integration tests, identify and drive defect resolution, maintain test environments, and mentor QA engineers. Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define test strategy and communicate risks and results.

Lead technical program management for development, release, and validation of vehicle ECUs. Drive schedules, coordinate cross-functional teams and suppliers, mitigate program risks, support pre-production builds, manage documentation/PLM, and oversee budget and forecasts to ensure timely integration and launch.

Investigate cross-stack vehicle-to-cloud issues at fleet scale by analyzing telemetry (SQL, PySpark, Databricks), debugging embedded Linux and networking, performing on-vehicle diagnostics, gating releases with fleet data, building automated monitoring and dashboards, and driving durable fixes with firmware, platform, cloud, and vendor teams.

Lead ECU-level bring-up, validation, and optimization for infotainment systems. Develop validation features, stress tests, manufacturing EOL software, and multimedia (camera/display) subsystem validation. Collaborate with hardware, test automation, and software teams to debug, document, and improve diagnostics and performance across CPU/GPU/NPU workloads and interfaces.

Support software- hardware integration by assisting teams with scoping and planning test assets, prioritizing components for milestones, coordinating verification test plans, tracking technical issues to closure, providing progress updates, and identifying and executing process improvements across development activities.

Lead enterprise GenAI platform architecture and strategy; design and own agentic LLM systems at scale; drive company-wide LLM integration and cognitive automation roadmap; set engineering standards for distributed ML systems; align cross-functional and executive stakeholders; mentor and hire senior engineering talent.

Provide operational support for global relocation and immigration: track and execute immigration cases (US, Canada, Europe), review filings for accuracy, maintain compliance records, coordinate external counsel and vendors, support expat logistics (housing, schooling, transport), manage dashboards and assignment cost trackers, and assist with payroll and tax-related data collection.

Lead software delivery for new vehicle launches by defining plans for software-impacting hardware changes and features, driving software-hardware integration, prioritizing issue resolution, managing verification test plans, reporting to stakeholders, mitigating systemic risks, implementing process improvements, and mentoring other Technical Program Managers.

Serve as the diagnostic subject-matter expert for one or more vehicle subsystems: define OBD requirements, develop monitoring strategies, integrate and verify diagnostic software with cross-functional teams, support manufacturing and service integration, and drive continuous improvements across current and future platforms.

Develop, maintain, and customize core Android OS components for automotive infotainment. Implement and optimize HALs, tune system performance (boot time, memory, stability), integrate features, debug system-level issues, and write performance-critical foundational code while participating in design and code reviews.

Develop and maintain Python-based automation frameworks, CI/CD pipelines, and hardware test benches for infotainment QA. Assemble and administer Linux test systems, triage software/network/hardware failures, collaborate with firmware and DevOps teams, and document tooling and bench configurations to enable continuous testing.

Lead operational strategy for electrical hardware NPI through mass production and sustaining phases. Manage CM relationships, material risk mitigation, EOL transitions, RMA/failure analysis, design refreshes, and scalable processes to ensure production continuity and drive continuous improvement across quality, cost, yield, and cycle time.

Build, maintain, and optimize a Go-based petabyte-scale vehicle data processing framework; integrate it with Databricks/Spark; implement CI/CD and Kubernetes deployments; monitor and troubleshoot performance; collaborate with data producers/consumers; research new big-data technologies to improve platform scalability and reliability.

Design, build, and operate developer platform infrastructure to support firmware build pipelines. Implement IaC patterns, GitOps, Kubernetes operators, CI optimization, cloud reliability, security policy-as-code, and developer tooling while mentoring engineers and collaborating on architecture and risk mitigation.

Lead product design within a cross-functional squad for high-density desktop and cross-platform enterprise tools. Own the design lifecycle, maintain a system of record for product logic, produce production-ready visuals and interactions, validate ideas with research and data, prototype, and partner closely with product, program, and engineering to align scope and decisions.

Lead cross-functional technical programs integrating hardware and software for vehicle development. Create and maintain schedules, manage dependencies and risks, influence engineering and product teams, report progress, and drive process improvements to ensure delivery quality and scalability.

Lead delivery of 2–3 concurrent enterprise IT programs end-to-end. Manage planning, milestones, risks, stakeholder communication, Jira program boards, cross-functional dependencies, vendor SOWs, and PMO standards. Run weekly syncs, produce status updates, and mentor junior PMs while building PMO frameworks and processes.

Develop and validate ECU hardware for automotive applications with a focus on EMC/EMI. Review designs, write and execute LV/HV and RF test plans, identify susceptibilities (ESD, transients, radiated/conducted emissions), collaborate with electrical/mechanical engineers, and define bonding/grounding/shielding specifications.

Lead delivery and operations for collaboration platforms (Google Workspace, Atlassian, Slack, Zoom), run operating cadence, manage stakeholders, drive migrations, enforce ITSM practices, mentor team, improve reliability, automation, security, and licensing.

Lead production launch test engineering for automotive ECUs: define scalable test strategies, industrialize flashing and DFT, coordinate across contract manufacturers, drive PFMEA/PPAP, perform root cause and failure analysis, monitor production KPIs, and close corrective actions to ensure successful LRIP-to-volume transitions.
