Responsibilities Develop and deliver best-in-class Autonomy Features powered by the Rivian Autonomy Stack. Define detailed requirements for expected feature behavior and performance during various real-world driving scenarios, homologation, and consumer rating test cases. Architect solutions to meet features’ functional and performance requirements and to setup required infrastructure/methods for the data logging, simulation, and feature evaluations. Collaborate within Autonomy and external development teams to deploy above solutions in embedded or cloud environment and ensure end-to-end feature development, integration, and testing. Work across development, triage, integration, and test teams to identify, root cause, and resolve or mitigate feature issues. Coordinate with program teams on feasibility, development status, risks, limitations to effectively setup and meet program schedules. Support feasibility studies for Autonomy features in Rivian’s autonomy feature roadmap. Execute cross functional discussions by fostering consensus, even during challenging technical discussions.
