Role SummaryA single firmware release must serve every vehicle variant we build across both Rivian and all Volkswagen brands.
The vehicle configuration platform that the OTA team supports makes that possible: a schema-driven system that defines every configurable attribute of a vehicle and provisions them onto vehicles in the factory, in service, and over the air customer updates.
Getting this wrong can mean anything from the wrong information showing on the driver display to a car that needs to be towed in for service.
You will be a technical leader on the team that owns this platform, working as a peer to its lead architect.
Where the architect drives the structural evolution of the configuration system itself, you will own the health, reliability, and scalability of everything around it: the compilation and code generation pipelines, the validation and release infrastructure, the provisioning path from schema to vehicle, and the developer experience of every engineer who touches configuration.
You will set technical direction for this surface area, drive initiatives that span firmware, build infrastructure, release engineering, OTA, and factory integration across two companies' engineering organizations, and raise the bar for how the team designs, reviews, and ships.
This role is based in our Berlin office and requires a minimum of three days per wee.
