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.
We operate development centers in Plymouth, Michigan; Southern California (Irvine, Carson & LA); Silicon Valley (San Jose and Palo Alto); Vancouver, British Columbia; and Surrey, England; as well as a manufacturing facility in Normal, Illinois.

- Own the capacity roadmap and forecast for specific area(s)
- Develop the overall manufacturing process flow and layout for existing and future factories
- Partner with different vertical manufacturing engineering teams (such as battery, drive unit, stamping, assembly) to provide inputs to production line, buffer, and material flow designs
- Work with cross functional leaders and teams (i.e. strategy, facilities, demand planning, finance) to create ‘what-if’ scenarios for the short- and long-term capacity strategy
What We Are Looking For
- B.S. in Mechanical / Industrial / Manufacturing Engineering, Operations Research, or equivalent
- 4+ years of assembly or manufacturing experience (new line launches a plus)
- Analytical mindset with the ability to navigate between fine details and big picture
- Experience with factory layouts, material flow, or capacity planning
- Experience with DES simulation software (i.e. FlexSiM, AnyLogic) a plus
- Strong interpersonal and communication skills and team player
- Demonstrated ability to work independently in a fast-paced environment
