About RivianRivian 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 SummaryWe are seeking Machine Learning Engineers to help us train and deploy models used for decision-making aspects of the Rivian Autonomy stack. Real world driving is complex and requires reasoning accounting for multi-modal and probabilistic future possibilities. We use Machine Learning with millions of miles of driving data to power these workflows and are looking for an ML engineer who will lead and develop the AI strategy across a variety of projects. Most importantly, your work will have a critical impact on the daily experience and safety of our customers, which is critical to the mission at Rivian.
