What is an Embedded Engineer at Rivian and Volkswagen Group Technologies?
An Embedded Engineer at Rivian and Volkswagen Group Technologies plays a pivotal role in shaping the future of electric mobility and software-defined vehicles. Operating as a joint venture, this entity combines Rivian's pioneering zonal electrical architecture and software expertise with Volkswagen's global manufacturing scale. In this role, you are not just writing code; you are building the core intelligent systems that control next-generation electric vehicles, from advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and battery management to high-performance zonal controllers and vehicle diagnostics.
The work sits at the intersection of hardware and high-level software. You will design, develop, and debug firmware that must meet stringent real-time performance, safety, and reliability standards. Whether optimizing low-level drivers, implementing complex communication protocols, or writing diagnostic services that keep vehicles running safely, your contributions directly impact the driving experience of millions of customers worldwide.
This is an exceptionally challenging and rewarding position. The systems you build must operate flawlessly under diverse environmental conditions and tight hardware constraints. For engineers who thrive on solving complex, multi-disciplinary problems and want to see their code directly control physical, high-performance machines, this joint venture offers an unmatched platform for innovation and career growth.
