Rivian is on a mission to keep the world adventurous forever. This goes for the emissions-free Electric Adventure Vehicles we build, and the curious, courageous souls we seek to attract.

As a company, we constantly challenge what’s possible, never simply accepting what has always been done. We reframe old problems, seek new solutions and operate comfortably in areas that are unknown. Our backgrounds are diverse, but our team shares a love of the outdoors and a desire to protect it for future generations.

The Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) team at Rivian is hands on with every hardware project, from circuit to system. You will know our products inside and out and drive our vehicles to be the safest most reliable EVs on the road. Since our systems hardware and software is complex, we rely on testing to validate the EMC design performance in emulated and real-world electromagnetic environments. The opening will be located at our Tustin, CA facility and reports directly to the Sr. Manager of EMC Engineering.

• You'll be setting up and executing all component, module, and vehicle-level EMC Tests following documented test plans and procedures.
• You'll be responsible for following standard operating procedures to protect lab equipment and assemble valid test setups, making sure we are meeting our internal EMC test specs and identifying and escalating deviations.
• You'll be tracking and auditing equipment calibration and repair as part of your test system checks.
• You’ll provide written test logs and summary data reports for completed testing.
• You'll collaborate with electronics unit and systems design responsible engineers, test software engineers, and other electrical test technicians. This will require good oral and written communication skill, strong teamwork and accountability, and maintaining a good working rapport with engineers and techs from other domains.

• Expertise in configuring and operating electrical/RF test equipment, including Antennas, Current and Voltage Probes, Oscilloscopes, Spectrum Analyzers, Vector Network Analyzers, Signal Generators, RF amplifiers, milli- and Mega-ohmmeters.
• Attention to detail, able to follow detailed test documentation including test procedures/plans/reports and identify/resolve inconsistencies.
• Basic proficiency in EMC/RF calculations (antenna and probe factor conversions, dB-to-linear conversions, accurate reporting of limits and data conversions and derivation of calculated test parameters)
• Familiarity with commercial, automotive, or military aircraft avionics components and installations, including shielded units, EGSE racks, and shielded wiring harnesses
• Demonstrated aptitude developing custom EMI test profiles using TILE!, Python (PyVISA), or equivalent test automation software.
• Ability to organize, maintain, calibrate, and repair electrical/RF test equipment.
• Adaptability, with the ability to think outside the box to solve problems and drive to successful completion of the test evolution.
