The Software Systems Architecture team's mission is to ensure that technical teams across Rivian Volkswagen Tech are aligned in a unified vision of our future vehicles across multiple brands. We achieve this mission by providing cross-functional oversight of the system and sub-system development processes, contributing technical expertise in selected areas, and bridging communication between domain specialists. Our team is proud of the breadth of our technical contributions, and we are always looking to expand the areas in which we can have an impact. Areas of special interest include network topology, processor selection, static analysis, latency reduction, software optimization, and more. You will help architect the next generation of Rivian and Volkswagen vehicles, at the forefront of a team making software-defined vehicles a reality. Focus areas include functional decomposition, evaluating trade-offs between hardware and software implementations, cross-functional optimization, and squeezing the most possible out of chosen electronics. You will propose possible system designs, perform trade studies to down-select among options, provide proof-of-concept implementations and relevant software tooling, and assist with implementation and design evolution.
