Overview
About Rivian
Rivian is on a mission to keep the world adventurous forever. This goes for the emissions-free Electric Adventure Vehicles we build, and the curious, courageous souls we seek to attract. As a company, we constantly challenge what’s possible, never simply accepting what has always been done. We reframe old problems, seek new solutions and operate comfortably in areas that are unknown. Our backgrounds are diverse, but our team shares a love of the outdoors and a desire to protect it for future generations.
Role Summary
The Autonomy TPM team plays a key role in driving the most important initiatives within the Autonomy organization at Rivian. If you are looking for a team that just takes notes or is just a scrum master, this is not it. We are here to execute cross-functional projects that a) require tight coordination and dependencies, involving everything from sense and compute HW, Perception & Pose, Planning & Controls, Infrastructure & Simulation, Systems Definition, Integration & Triage, etc., and b) need to be delivered in order to build a great Autonomy product.
Responsibilities
Lead programs consisting of complex technology projects, particularly ones that intersect with hardware, software, and regulatory constraints. Exercise strong ownership over programs they lead, including briefing Autonomy leadership on execution and diving into the technical details where necessary to unblock the team. Drive pragmatic decisions and tradeoffs to maximize probability of hitting critical timelines. Manage ambiguity by presenting options with a clear point of view for leadership. Understand the role of TPM as an insider/outsider, someone who drives accountability through influence and soft power rather than hard power and authority. Mentor other TPMs on the team and help them grow their craft as TPMs.
Qualifications
Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science, Data Science, Engineering, or equivalent experience. 3+ years of experience in Technical Program Management on deep tech products or equivalent. Hands-on experience with ML-based products including evaluation with metrics driven analysis. Strong interpersonal skills and ability to effectively communicate to external partner organizations to drive shared outcomes for Rivian. Bonus Qualifications Experience with ADAS systems, Robotaxis, and/or Robotics. ML development in resource-constrained environments. You enjoy prototyping random side projects in your spare time.
Pay Disclosure
Salary Range for California Based Applicants: $132,100-$165,100 (actual compensation will be determined based on experience, location, and other factors permitted by law). Benefits Summary: Rivian provides robust medical/Rx, dental and vision insurance packages for full-time employees, their spouse or domestic partner, and children up to age 26. Coverage is effective on the first day of employment.
Equal Opportunity
Rivian is an equal opportunity employer and complies with all applicable federal, state, and local fair employment practices laws. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, national origin, ancestry, sex, sexual orientation, gender, gender expression, gender identity, genetic information or characteristics, physical or mental disability, marital/domestic partner status, age, military/veteran status, medical condition, or any other characteristic protected by law.
