ABOUT US

Rivian and Volkswagen Group Technologies is a joint venture between two industry leaders with a clear vision for automotive’s next chapter. From operating systems to zonal controllers to cloud and connectivity solutions, we’re addressing the challenges of electric vehicles through technology that will set the standards for software-defined vehicles around the world.

The road to the future is uncharted. By combining our expertise across connectivity, AI, security and more, we’ll map a new way forward. Working together, we’ll create a future that’s more connected, more intelligent, more sustainable for everyone.

ROLE SUMMARY

In this role, you will be responsible for maintaining the integrity of our multi-repo software architecture related to vehicle interface architecture. You will be responsible for CI/CD health, leveraging Bazel and GitLab CI to ensure deterministic builds and rapid feedback loops for merge requests related to signal changes. Additionally, you will support the debugging of complex embedded systems, identifying interface issues between various vehicle sub-systems and ECUs, and helping define and integrate how 2nd ECUs interface with RVT vehicle platforms.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Build & CI Management: Maintain and optimize CI/CD pipelines using GitLab CI and Bazel to support robust builds.
• Version Control Mastery: Manage complex code merging activities within a multi-repo structure, including resolving rebase conflicts and fixing build failures quickly to maintain developer velocity. Help refine workflows for network interface versioning and change management, improving traceability and communication across domains.
• System Debugging & Analysis: Perform hands-on debugging of complex integrated systems, specifically focusing on the interfaces between software components and vehicle ECUs. Develop and maintain lightweight tools, scripts, and models to analyze network architecture, latency, and bandwidth usage, and to evaluate design trade-offs for software-defined vehicles. Support system analyses and trade studies comparing design options.
• Signal & Network Definition: Analyze and implement signal and network definition changes, assessing technical impact on RVT ECUs and coordinating clean updates to shared artifacts.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work with architecture, software, and validation teams to share integration status, clarify requirements, and drive technical issues to closure. Lead and coordinate cross-functional teams to deliver integrated subsystems and features. Work with the Program Teams and domain teams to align feature implementation with testing requirements at a vehicle-level.
• Documentation & Integration: Track and document software versions, hardware revisions, and feature sets to ensure traceability across the platform and keep downstream teams aligned. Contribute to the RVT network interface specification and system-wide network definition for 2nd ECUs by synthesiz
