Immediate Areas of Focus: Design, develop, and maintain robust backend services and network systems utilizing Go and Java. Prepare comprehensive systems design documentation, architectural decision records, and technical specifications. Participate actively in technical strategy development, architectural discussions, and roadmap planning for infrastructure advancements. Drive the optimization of performance and reliability for mission-critical, globally distributed systems. Collaborate with cross-functional teams to deliver complete solutions for real-time data processing and corrections delivery. Take ownership of key backend infrastructure components, overseeing their design, deployment, and ongoing monitoring. Qualifications: Minimum of 8 years of software engineering experience, with a focus on backend and network systems. Advanced proficiency in Java and Go for developing production systems. Production experience with distributed messaging systems such as Apache Kafka or RabbitMQ. Demonstrated ability to design complex distributed systems and produce detailed architectural documentation.

Preferred Qualifications: Background in GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite Systems). Experience with gRPC clients and servers. Familiarity with PostGIS and geospatial data processing systems. Working knowledge of AWS services, Kubernetes, and cloud-native architectures. Experience with containerization, monitoring systems, and DevOps practices. Our Cultural Foundation At Point One, our cultural and operating design is built around one guiding principle: we must move with extreme speed and efficiency of effort to stay in a leadership position. This environment gives people a high level of autonomy and the ability to make a real impact. It also challenges every team member to grow - both professionally and personally. Because we focus on promoting from within rather than relying on external hiring, the opportunities for advancement are tremendous for those who seek them. That said, growth only comes from delivering in the present. What matters most is the job to be done today, not the job you want tomorrow. When we all focus on today's outcomes with excellence, the path to greater responsibility and growth naturally follows. We think about our culture in two dimensions: How We Show Up Every Day These are the behaviors we expect every team member to bring to work - the foundation of being a consummate, high-output teammate: Trust / Assume Best Intent - Trust allows us to move fast. When we start from trust, we spend no time second-guessing or looking for ulterior motives and thus focus all our energy on acting. High Output, Action Oriented - Our default posture is “yes.” We bias toward action and deliver results quickly, knowing that speed and efficiency compound into impact as we unblock others around us. Divine Discontent - We're never satisfied with the status quo and are self-motivated to improve ourselves, our work, and our company. We actively seek feedback in real-time to shorten improvement cycles. No Ego, One Team - Collaboration without ego creates leverage. When we win as one team, we eliminate friction and move faster together. Self Accountability - Taking ownership is the straightest line to learning, self-improvement, and correcting our course of action. And blaming others around us is a fast path to destroying trust. Operating Principles These are the systems and norms that amplify speed and efficiency at the company level: Edge Innovation - We bias toward action over approval. Experiment, decide, and move - failure is just a step toward faster learning. No Hierarchies - We practice self-prioritization and go direct to the source. Flattening layers reduces drag and maximizes autonomy. Customer Experience First - We optimize for the end-to-end customer outcome, not functional or departmental efficiency. This focus cuts waste, aligns priorities, and ensures we spend effort where it matters most. Location: SF Bay Area (Hybrid) / West Coast Working Hours required If this role sounds like a fit, we'd love to hear from you. Apply below and join us in shaping the future of precise location.

Experience in cell design and development for high volume production programs. Experience in developing DFMEA and PFEMA, PPAP, Line audit. Demonstrated experience in cell validation. Experience with fault tree analysis and DFMEA/PFMEA of electrochemical systems, for identifying root cause and applying mitigation strategies to development issues. Familiar with common electrochemical techniques such as EIS, GITT, CV, PITT, etc. Excellent knowledge of development trends in the lithium ion battery space. Can work independently with minimum supervision, and collaborate closely with colleagues. Passionate about lithium ion battery development, especially in EV. Strong communication, time management, and project management skills. Nice to have: Knowledge of fast charge development methodology. Experience in estimating lithium ion battery lifetime. Experience in data analysis tools such as Python is a plus. Understanding of how battery cells are integrated into automotive (HEVs/PHEVs/EVs), or consumer electronics applications. Working knowledge of SAE, FMVSS, ECE, GBT/QCT standards and regulations relating to automotive traction batteries, and with statistical methods for understanding process capability. The Battery Cell Development Engineer is a critical role. This engineer manages the entire cell development lifecycle, from initial design concept through mass production. Key responsibilities include: Cell Strategy and Development: Owns cell development from cell design concept to mass production launch. Develops the cell technical roadmap and overall cell strategy for current and future products. Establishes strategic relationships with cell vendors and collaborates with Rivian purchasing for cell sourcing. Design, Integration, and Quality: Works with cross-functional teams to translate vehicle requirements into detailed cell requirements and specifications. Partners with material engineers and mechanical designers to develop a cell that meets all safety, performance (including fast charge and durability), and cost objectives. Collaborates with vendors on cell development and manufacturing process optimization. Manages all change requests for cell design and manufacturing processes, both internal and from vendors. Oversees cell supplier's DFMEA (Design Failure Mode and Effects Analysis) and PFMEA (Process Failure Mode and Effects Analysis) development. Develops or supports Rivian's internal DFMEA and PFMEA with cross-functional teams. Process and Communication: Travels to vendors for workshops, line bring-up, Production Part Approval Process (PPAP), and line audits. Establishes internal alignment with cross-functional teams on cell integration into the battery module/pack assembly. Works with Rivian manufacturing engineers to develop and optimize equipment for cell handling and measurement in the module and pack assembly lines. Testing, Validation, and Modeling: Develops and executes test methods to evaluate various lithium-ion battery cell chemistries, coordinating internal and external testing resources. Drives cell selection decisions based on test results and comprehensive data analysis. Works closely with modeling engineers to extract parameters, build, and validate the cell model. Collaborates with cell testing, modeling, and safety teams to execute comprehensive cell validation and characterization. Utilizes electrochemical techniques to identify cell degradation mechanisms and proposes mitigation strategies (e.g., cell design, manufacturing process, or usage changes). Uses cell testing data to support control/estimation algorithms within the vehicle's Battery Management Systems (BMS). Innovation and Improvement: Works with pack design engineers to define pathways for improving cell/pack design to enhance performance and lifetime. Reviews academic literature on lithium-ion cells and beyond to advance Rivian's battery cell technology. Develops and secures intellectual property for Rivian battery cell technology. Provides training and technical guidance to other engineers and technicians.
