Rivian is looking to ensure the performance, reliability, and safety of next-generation electrical architecture for electric vehicles through rigorous diagnostics, calibration, and integration work.
Requirements
- Proficient in developing automated test cases for SIL, and/or HIL testing environments (experience with Pytest, OpenHTF, or similar).
- Hands-on experience in embedded software integration, calibration, hardware/software debugging.
- Experience with communication bus monitoring/analyzing tools (Vector CANalyzer, vehicle or bench-level debug tools, etc.).
- Experience with calibration and diagnostics tools (Vector CANape, INCA, or similar).
- Familiarity with the fundamentals of battery operation (lithium-ion cells, modules & packs, thermal management, power electronics, state estimation algorithms).
- Familiarity with the energy storage and distribution hardware such as battery packs, DC/DC converters, fuses, power distribution, and battery sensors.
Responsibilities
- Design and document comprehensive test cases for sub-system, system and vehicle battery and energy management systems from software requirements.
- Collaborate with embedded software and systems engineers to diagnose and resolve integration issues.
- Track the maturity of features through exhaustive test coverage, including Software-in-the-Loop (SIL), Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL), and vehicle-level test assets.
- Analyze diagnostics and telemetry data from embedded communication systems (such as CAN, LIN, and Ethernet), and leverage vehicle/cloud data for validation and root-cause analysis.
- Test, validate and help calibrate battery and energy management features, including one or more of charge/discharge controls, cell balancing, state-of-charge/state-of-health algorithms, power distribution, and safety systems to meet vehicle attribute targets (performance, range, reliability, safety, etc.).
- Plan and coordinate use of test assets, test plans and temperature chamber usage to characterize and validate energy storage software and hardware functionality.
Other
- 2+ years’ experience working with control systems, battery management, or energy storage in automotive, aerospace, or related industries.
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science or equivalent engineering or sciences.
