rivianvw.tech Senior System Integration Engineer at Rivian Volkswagen Technologies focusing on Vehicle Power Modes architecture and integration. Responsible for defining scalable power-mode architecture and driving integration, debug, and release closure across software, hardware, diagnostics, and manufacturing teams.

Responsibilities

Define and maintain scalable Vehicle Power Modes architecture across future generations of RVT vehicle platforms.
Translate complex vehicle behaviors into technical requirements, state machines, timing diagrams, and sequence diagrams.
Own cross-functional dependency management across software, hardware, diagnostics, validation, manufacturing, and partner teams.
Establish integration milestones, readiness criteria, gates, risks, and escalation paths.
Serve as a central technical point of contact for software baselines, feature integration, and system-level tradeoffs.
Coordinate power-mode behavior across distributed controllers and vehicle systems.
Drive integration, debug, and release closure from early development through production-ready firmware.
Lead system-level investigations using vehicle logs, CAN, LIN, Automotive Ethernet, and ECU diagnostics.
Improve observability and diagnostics so that power-state failures can be isolated quickly across bench, HIL, vehicle, factory, and field environments.
Develop and maintain integration plans that connect requirements, implementation, test coverage, and release readiness.
Communicate technical status, risks, decisions, and dependencies clearly to engineering and leadership stakeholders.

Qualification
