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.

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. 

THIS IS WHAT YOU'LL DO:
  • Development of large scale, factory-wide, equipment and process strategies in partnership with production
    control, factory design, and MES teams.
  • Detailed process design including value-stream, logistics, routing, and warehouse design.
  • Implement material flow equipment such as conveyors, EMS systems, AGVs, and ASRS systems.
  • Create specialized part packaging for processes with high complexity or automation needs.
  • Develop models to analyze the cost, throughput, and space factors for part sequencing, material batching,
    intermediate storage locations, and other material flow strategies.
  • Plan, manage, and communicate project schedule ensuring alignment to overall program milestones.
  • Be responsible for and ensure safety, quality, cost, timing & throughput targets are achieved on all projects.
  • Be part of a world-class engineering team, with a focus on high quality work and rapid project deployment
 
THIS IS WHAT YOU'LL NEED:
  • Bachelor’s degree in Engineering or similar technical field.
  • 5+ years of experience in engineering role.
  • Experience with data-based development of high-level material flow strategies for high volume, high
    complexity production or logistics facilities.
  • End-to-end supply chain, logistics, and/or material flow design experience.
  • Experience using 2D (AutoCAD) and 3D (CATIA/3DExperience) design platforms.
  • Successful implementation of material flow related equipment such as conveyors, AGVs/AMRs, docking
    systems, part packaging, or ASRS.
  • Modelling or simulation capabilities. Workflow capability using VBA, Python, or simulation programs
    (Flexsim, AnyLogic etc..) is a plus.
  • Familiarity with Manufacturing Execution, Material Requirements Planning, Warehouse Management, or
    Yard Management (MES, MRP, WMS, YMS) systems are a plus.
 
THIS IS WHERE YOU'LL WORK:
 
Department: Manufacturing Engineering
Location: Normal, IL or Atlanta, GA
Travel as required to other Rivian engineering and production centers as well as project related partner sites.
