Job description

The role at Rivian focuses on designing schematic and PCB layout solutions for advanced high voltage battery and related electronics. The team is dedicated to early development and prototype hardware, ensuring innovative solutions for electric adventure vehicles. Candidates will work closely with various teams to integrate new electrical hardware and troubleshoot complex issues. This position requires a strong background in electrical engineering and a passion for outdoor adventure.

Requirements

  • 5+ years of work experience in automotive, battery, aerospace, power electronics, or related industries.
  • At least a bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
  • Strong experience in schematic capture, PCB design, and board level electrical development.
  • Hands-on experience with board bring up, lab debugging, and root cause analysis in complex embedded or power electronic systems.
  • Practical experience working with prototype PCB/PCBA suppliers and supporting fast hardware iteration cycles.
  • Strong analog and mixed signal electrical fundamentals.
  • High voltage and/or power electronics design experience is highly desirable.
  • BMS experience is a plus, but not required.
  • Ability to work independently in ambiguous, fast-moving environments.
  • Strong communication and documentation skills.

Responsibilities

  • Design schematic and PCB layout solutions for advanced HV battery and related electronics concepts.
  • Own board level electrical design work from concept through bring up, including component selection and circuit design.
  • Work directly with PCBA prototype suppliers to support fabrication, assembly, and design iteration.
  • Integrate new electrical hardware into prototype systems and advanced concept builds.
  • Help evaluate and mature new battery electrical, BMS, and HV technology concepts into robust hardware.
  • Troubleshoot board level hardware issues across BMS and related electronics.
  • Work closely with systems, controls, software, mechanical, test, and supplier teams to iterate and move new concepts forward.
  • Support electrical failure analysis work for field issues when deeper board level debugging is needed.

Benefits

  • 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.
