The Sr Staff Triage Engineer will lead the architecture of systems that convert unlabeled driving data into actionable insights for Rivian's autonomy stack. This role is part of the Autonomy Triage team, which focuses on enhancing the workflows that connect driver experiences to the evolution of autonomous vehicle systems. The engineer will work closely with various teams to ensure accurate detection and classification of driving events. This position requires a deep understanding of data engineering, machine learning systems, and autonomy validation.

• Graduate degree in engineering, preferably in computer science, electrical, or mechanical engineering.
• 10+ years of engineering experience, with at least 5 years developing autonomous vehicle systems, preferably Level 4 systems.
• Deep familiarity with the full autonomous vehicle development loop, including autonomy systems and sensor modalities.
• Hands-on experience designing or owning triage, disengagement analysis, or event detection systems at scale.
• Strong problem-solving skills in a highly cross-functional and fast-paced environment.
• Strong data engineering fundamentals, including large-scale data pipelines and feature extraction.
• Experience with machine learning model development or deployment, particularly in classification or anomaly detection.
• Proficiency with Python and SQL, with experience in working with large language models or prompt-based pipelines being a strong plus.

• Define and lead the strategy and execution for Level 4 autonomy triage at scale.
• Define and own the end-to-end triage pipeline, from event detection through feature metric parity analysis.
• Enhance the ground truth infrastructure that connects driver-reported symptoms to event signatures.
• Drive the methodology for evaluating metric parity between on-road and simulation environments.
• Ensure that on-road signatures and simulation metrics are synchronized and representative of real-world scenarios.
• Establish coverage benchmarks and drive the roadmap for expanding triage coverage across new scenarios and geographies.

• Employees at Rivian are often offered comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance, a 401(k) with company match, ESPP and potential RSU grants, performance bonuses, and generous time off including paid parental and sick leave. Perks can include 24/7 mental-health coaching and therapy, Hinge Health for Anthem enrollees, tuition assistance and professional development, plus on-site food and a wide range of employee discounts on items like computers, mobile phones, home loans, and pet care.
