About the company:

Doing something different is never easy. It requires courage, optimism and grit. Core to our mission is building a team of adventurous individuals determined to make a positive impact on the world. This means challenging ourselves constantly. Stretching beyond the bounds of conventional thinking. Reframing old problems. Seeking new solutions. And operating comfortably in a space of uncertainty. While our backgrounds are diverse, our team shares a love of the outdoors and a desire to protect it for future generations. Do you like doing the impossible? We’d love to hear from you.

  • Perform data analysis and technical triage on OTAs across Rivian fleet by curating dashboards and automated solutions.
  • Responsible for predicting, testing and validating connectivity, OTA and vehicle telematics solutions, end to end in partnership with Rivian Engineering, vendors, and network operators.
  • Work cross-functionally with engineering, product, design to onboard new carriers and validate new OTA integrations/features prior to releasing to production.
  • Proactively monitor, publish and communicate carrier network outages, known issues, service bulletins, and work with the appropriate resources to resolve carrier issues. Identify trending issues early and proactively escalate internally.

Qualifications:

  • A bachelor's degree in computer science, software engineering, or another related field
  • 5+ years working as technical engineer/escalation lead or network operations within the IoT, fleet management/ wireless/networking, or connected car/EV industries
  • Experience with scripting in python, javascript, or similar languages

  • Self-motivated with the ability to dive right in, develop effective processes, and work to ensure our vehicles remain connected
  • Strong cross-functional experience with engineering, design and service/customer support
