Systems Test and Integration Engineer

The posting, as Rivian and Volkswagen Group Technologies wrote it

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

As a Systems Test and Integration Engineer, you will play a critical role in our vehicle development lifecycle, integrating and validating software systems from early prototypes through to customer launch. You will be the link between hardware and software as we integrate our zonal architectures and systems into both Rivian's and Volkswagen Group's future vehicles. This hands-on role requires the ability to navigate systematically across domain groups — battery management, body controls, vehicle dynamics, and thermal. The ideal candidate has strong system intuition, enabling them to make critical real-time decisions that accelerate development, expand testing capabilities, and mitigate program risk. You will be a versatile problem-solver, comfortable diving into unfamiliar technical domains and translating domain-level issues into system-wide impacts.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Work on code changes, developing and executing test plans for new features and improvements to the ever evolving software stack for our products
• Own end-to-end software bring-up for your domain group, from early prototypes phase to launch
• Define and execute integration activities for new features
• Lead the diagnosis of field issues, working cross-functionally to drive resolutions
• Triage, debug, and perform root-cause analysis on complex, system-level integration issues spanning multiple ECUs and software domains
• Dive deep into unfamiliar ECU and vehicle subsystem domains and software stacks to resolve integration blockers and ensure system stability
• Collaborate directly with architecture, platform, and application developers to define and resolve software dependencies
• Drive automation pipelines for vehicle software validation
• Gather data from embedded communication systems such as CAN and Ethernet, as well as from cloud-based vehicle telemetry

QUALIFICATIONS

• A Bachelor of Science in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or Software Engineering
• 3+ years of experience with control systems — automotive or aerospace preferred
• Hands-on experience with communication bus monitoring tools (Vector CANalyzer, PCAN, or equivalent)
• Hands-on experience with software calibration tools (Vector CANape or equivalent)
• Strong understanding of electr
