Rivian 4.1
Quality engineer job in Normal, IL
About Rivian 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. Role Summary At Rivian, handing over the keys isn't just a transaction; it is the start of an adventure. As the Program Manager, Product Quality & Readiness, you are the guardian of that standard. You are a strategic operator and systems thinker obsessed with defining the technical frameworks and quality gates that ensure every vehicle delivered to a customer is flawless in both function and form. You operate at the critical junction where the factory ends and the customer journey begins. Your mission is to architect the intelligent, scalable operating system that performs the final validation of our vehicles before they ever reach a customer's driveway. You ensure that the first moment of ownership is pure joy, unmarred by technical oversight or cosmetic imperfection. More critically, you will transform this validation phase into the ultimate feedback loop. You will capture high-fidelity data to drive systemic improvements in the factory, while simultaneously driving rigorous operational execution in the field to ensure vehicle presentation is immaculate. You are the operational bridge ensuring quality is a closed-loop system that centers the customer at every stage. Responsibilities The Customer Advocate: You never lose sight of the human being waiting for their keys. You view every defect-whether a software bug or a smudge on the glass-as a potential friction point in a customer's adventure, and you fight relentlessly to eliminate them. The Clarity Creator: You are an expert at simplifying complex quality challenges into structured, measurable technical programs. The Data Architect: You use data to diagnose systemic issues, build compelling business cases, and ensure every requirement is backed by measurable field impact. The Strategic Partner: You excel at translating field reality into actionable HQ plans, fostering alignment and shared success with central teams, especially Manufacturing.

You understand that "Quality" is defined by the user experience, not just the spec sheet. Operational Rigor: Experience defining Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for field or factory teams. You understand that while the factory builds the product, the field team delivers the experience, and you know how to drive compliance in product presentation, quality, and cleanliness. Proven experience in defining, deploying, and owning technical systems and data pipelines, specifically around quality control, manufacturing execution (MES), or diagnostic tooling. Exceptional ability to synthesize high-volume data (telemetry, manufacturing data) into clear, strategic narratives for both executive and engineering audiences. The Operator-Engineer Mindset: You are equal parts operator (focused on execution, logistics, and people) and engineer (focused on systems, optimization, and tools). Applied Ingenuity: A degree in a hands-on technical field is preferred. However, we value applied ingenuity above all; a demonstrated track record of solving complex problems in rigorous environments may be accepted in lieu of specific academic credentials.

Position Overview
The Quality Engineer III works collaboratively with product, platform, and delivery teams to establish, govern, and continuously improve quality practices across the software development lifecycle (SDLC). This role ensures that quality is designed into solutions early, measured consistently, and validated through defined quality gates-rather than focusing on feature development or infrastructure implementation.
The Quality Engineer III partners closely with Analysts, Product Owners, Developers, and QA teams to validate requirements clarity, BDD alignment, test coverage, and defect readiness. The role provides senior-level guidance on quality standards, and traceability, supporting delivery teams in translating business requirements into testable, measurable outcomes. Rather than writing application code, the Quality Engineer III evaluates and influences technical solutions to ensure they meet quality, stability, and performance expectations.
Using Agile and DevOps-aligned delivery practices, the Quality Engineer III supports quality governance, metrics reporting, and release readiness, enabling faster and more predictable delivery without compromising quality. The role owns the operational execution of QE processes, including defect trend analysis, regression strategy alignment, and continuous improvement initiatives.
The Quality Engineer III contributes to backlog refinement and planning activities by providing quality input, risk assessment, and readiness indicators, and participates in program increment planning, system demos, retrospectives, and inspect-and-adapt events to ensure quality outcomes are visible, measurable, and continuously improved.

* Evaluate application behavior and outcomes rather than develop UI or front-end solutions
* Review and assess design artifacts (architecture, workflows, integrations) for quality, testability, and risk
* Support quality validation across platforms (web, mobile, desktop) without owning feature development
* Collaborate effectively with business and IT stakeholders to influence quality outcomes, resolve risks, and drive alignment
* Apply sound judgment to identify quality risks, challenge readiness decisions, and escalate concerns when standards are not met
* Apply analytical and innovative thinking to improve quality processes, metrics, and governance models
In-depth understanding of:
* How components throughout the technology stack interact, with a focus on failure points, dependencies, and quality risk
* Application architectures and development patterns sufficient to assess quality, defects, and test coverage (not to author production code)
In-depth knowledge of:
* Agile and DevOps-aligned delivery models, including how quality gates integrate with CI/CD pipelines
