As an engineer focusing on integration and automation for the vehicle-to-cloud (V2C) team within the Connectivity Software team at Rivian-VW, you will work alongside software developers, system integrators, and system engineers to support feature development, manual validation, and automated testing of vehicle-to-cloud features such as telematics, data logging, remote commands, and over-the-air software updates.

The V2C integration and automation engineer will champion the automated validation of V2C feature development by creating, refining, and executing automated tests using a customized hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) framework. The engineer will also collect, review, and share results and as needed, create the appropriate tickets and documentation if issues are found. Depending on feature and hardware/software maturity, the engineer may need to scale the HIL architecture to accommodate the required automated validation. An out-of-the-box approach with respect to test execution and data analysis will greatly enhance the development teams and allow expedited deliveries of features to customers.
