Work hands-on in-vehicle to calibrate and test against requirements in your domain. From target setting to final validation, you will be fully responsible for a portion of the vehicle performance. This role offers a unique opportunity to apply first principles thinking to solve complex control problems and to work on cutting-edge propulsion & braking technologies. You will be required to collaborate across Software Controls and Chassis organizations, bringing teams together to solve engineering challenges. You will have the chance to develop robust, real-time solutions, and make significant contributions to Rivian's mission of creating innovative, efficient, and sustainable transportation systems. Own the target setting, calibration and general development of the anti-lock braking and electronic stability control systems for R2 Work with brake suppliers to integrate their software with the Rivian software environment Evaluate vehicle performance, to ensure vehicle performance is achieving Rivian's objective and subjective standards. Provide feedback and direction to a team of calibration engineers. Use data to correlate subjective evaluations to make clear data driven decisions. Define and organize testing programs that provide detailed objective and subjective information to the rest of the organization Conduct and run performance tests, including coordination of tests, processing data and generating reports Instrument vehicles prior to testing and operate data acquisition systems Benchmark competitive vehicles, record relevant information and refine Rivian's target metrics Help develop full vehicle simulation models Utilize full vehicle simulation models to optimize the development of the vehicle platform by running "what-if" scenarios based around dynamic performance Ensure system specific DVP meets program requirements and timeline B.S. Degree (or higher) in Engineering (Computer Science, Electrical Engineering or Mechanical Engineering) 5+ years experience in Automotive Development or similar industry preferred Experience taking data via CAN or XCP on vehicle, analyzing data, correlating with subjective evaluations and turning that into actionable changes in calibration or software. Deep knowledge of control systems, vehicle dynamics and brake systems. Strong first principles background Be able to work on multiple projects in parallel and progress topics with little guidance or direction. A track record of delivering on time results is important Experience in C, C++, MATLAB, Python, Simulink. Gitlab experience is a plus Excellent communication and presentation skills Ability to travel up to 50% during Winter Test Seasons
