JOB DESCRIPTION

Hours: 8-5/9-6 M-F with variability (potentially different hours daily or weekend and OT work)

This will be mostly remote with some onsite work (1 day per week with potential to change)

This can be sourced in both the Irvine and Palo Alto location only

This is what you’ll do:

• PCB Design – Design and implement high speed and mixed signal PCB layout designs to automotive standards. Drive and own PCB designs for ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems), BMS (Battery Management Systems), Body systems, and Infotainment Systems. These systems will include HDI (High density interconnect) design practices, high speed (DDR4, PCIE, CSI, LVDS), HV, and Mixed Signal design. Improve package designs by solving challenges of space constraints while making performance tradeoffs. Build and maintain our component library and be responsible for its integrity.
• Manufacturing – Improve and optimize durability and performance for automotive designs. Work with our contract manufacturer to develop our design rules for manufacturing and taking in implementing DFM feedback, to ensure our designs are manufacturable and manufactured to a high standard.
• Process Development – Contribute to overall process and workflow development between engineering and design. You will be responsible for configuring our ECAD tool to make sure it flows into the overall Rivian design and release process.
• Zoom Out & Deep Dive – Think holistically. Understand impact of your plan or decision to program and customers. Deep dive into technical issues to drive data driven decisions.

Most Important Skills/Reponsibilities:

• Experience with Altium Designer tools
• High Density (HDI), DDR4/PCIe, signal and power integrity design experience
• Full life cycle development from layout to manufacturing

This is what you’ll neeD:

• 5 years’ experience in PCB Layout design (mixed background preferred)
