Jobs at Rivian and Volkswagen Group Technologies, LLC

Own the Rivian mobile app product experience from strategy and roadmap through delivery. Lead core app initiatives, information architecture, navigation, quality, performance, and cross-device journeys. Collaborate with design, engineering, vehicle software, cloud, identity, charging, and service teams. Use analytics, owner feedback, support data, and experimentation to prioritize work, define success metrics, and deliver a coherent, reliable app experience.

Develop and test embedded software or control algorithms for vehicle systems such as propulsion, battery management, charging, thermal, HVAC, body controls, and safety. Interns write C/C++ production code and Python test tooling, execute SIL, HIL, and bench testing, debug issues, collaborate with systems and test engineers, and support requirements, architecture, homologation, or functional safety work.

Software engineering interns develop and test customer-facing infotainment, mobile, connectivity, and automotive applications. Responsibilities may include Android Automotive development, platform software, wireless and telematics integration, 3D graphics, automation testing, debugging, and presenting project progress. Interns collaborate with product and design teams throughout a full-time January-to-August 2027 internship.

Develop and maintain a user-space runtime that enables production ECU firmware to run on workstations and cloud servers. Model peripherals, integrate RTOS-based firmware with host abstractions, maintain cross-compilation builds, and extend HIL Pytest validation suites. Debug firmware-host discrepancies using GDB and protocol analysis, collaborate across hardware and software teams, lead design reviews, improve code quality, and mentor engineers on real-time embedded development.

Architect, build, and operate globally distributed cloud platform services for low-latency messaging, resilient APIs, and vehicle connectivity. Own high-throughput messaging systems, gRPC APIs, Kubernetes and infrastructure automation, observability, ingress, PKI, testing, and multi-region reliability. Support on-call operations, capacity planning, cost optimization, and multi-tenant platform growth across development, staging, and production environments.

Own the organization’s data strategy, architecture, governance, and roadmap across vehicle telemetry, manufacturing, and enterprise data. Lead large-scale streaming and batch data platform development while remaining hands-on with designs, code, and performance issues. Recruit and manage data engineering and analytics teams, partner cross-functionally on reliability and product needs, establish quality and security standards, oversee reporting, and manage tooling, vendors, and budget.

Design and implement mission-critical in-vehicle Android applications for infotainment, collaborating with UX/UI and studio teams to integrate 2D/3D content. Test and validate software in lab and prototype vehicles, troubleshoot issues, research new interfaces and technologies, and coordinate cross-division technology roadmaps and IP sharing.

Architect, implement, and integrate platform embedded software for vehicle control boards, including drivers, RTOS, middleware and OTA. Develop firmware for power management, diagnostics, occupancy detection, and collaborate with hardware and cross-functional teams to bring systems from bring-up to production.

Architect, implement, and integrate embedded platform software for vehicle control boards (drivers, RTOS, middleware). Develop firmware for power management, resets, occupancy detection, diagnostics and OTA. Collaborate with hardware and application teams, perform hardware bring-up and real-world debugging with embedded diagnostics tools.

Build and operate backend services for vehicle telemetry and control: design and deliver features in Go/Python/Rust, manage high-scale analytical stores and migrations, implement stream processing and tiered storage, ensure observability and production ownership, and collaborate across teams to support fleet-scale vehicle data systems.
