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.

We’re a diverse team of Architects and Engineers (MEP, FP, Structural & Civil), Technical Subject Matter Experts and Building Specialists that come together to build world-class facilities that enable Rivian to scale.
