Rivian is looking to create the next generation of connected, software-driven vehicles that transform mobility by designing and evolving scalable UI frameworks across in-vehicle, mobile, and web platforms.
Requirements
- 10+ years of experience crafting user-centered digital products, including 2–3 years dedicated to building design systems, frameworks, or driving cross-platform consistency (or equivalent relevant experience)
- Demonstrated mastery of Figma, encompassing advanced application of components, variants, tokens, and systematic file organization for system design
- A balance of systemic thinking and visual precision—you can abstract complexity into modular solutions without losing sight of craft and clarity.
- Proven experience working with engineers and design systems peers to deliver performant, accessible, and production-ready UI.
- Familiarity with tools like Zeroheight or Storybook, and/or experience working in cross-functional or cross-platform environments.
- Strong communication and documentation skills with the ability to clearly articulate design intent, system rationale, and implementation guidance to cross-functional teams.
- A portfolio that demonstrates how you’ve shaped scalable design patterns, systematized complex UI challenges, and delivered cohesive experiences across platforms and brands.
Responsibilities
- Design and evolve scalable UI frameworks that power Rivian’s digital experiences across in-vehicle, mobile, and web platforms.
- Create cross-platform patterns and systems that are modular, reusable, and expressive—balancing flexibility with brand integrity.
- Collaborate with Design Systems, Product, and Engineering to align visual frameworks with technical architecture, component libraries, and product needs.
- Build and document patterns in Figma and Zeroheight, supporting adoption through clear specs, rationales, and usage guidance.
- Prototype and test systems using Figma, ProtoPie, or code to validate interactions, adaptability, and performance across surfaces and brands.
- Contribute to design system governance, helping establish standards, versioning practices, and feedback loops that support scale and quality.
- Champion accessibility, localization, and performance from the ground up—ensuring every framework meets the needs of a global, inclusive audience.
