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.
\n\n
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
The model build team is responsible for delivery of all CAE models to our structural attribute teams. The model build manager ensures all deliverables of the team are met and team structure and resource are in place to deliver. Including:
Team responsibilities include:
- \n
- \nConstruct and maintain high-quality FEA models for all structural simulations, including crash, NVH, durability, closures, and other simulations. \n \n
- Ensure the CAE Model is of high quality and kept up-to-date with the latest engineering CAD releases and in-house modeling guidelines. \n
- \nFollow work plans for significant milestone evaluations about CAE model creation and update systems/subsystems models accordingly. Ensure quality and on-time delivery of master models at major checkpoints.\n \n
- Developing and improving workflows and processes to increase efficiency, improve quality and reduce timing. \n
- Financial awareness to ensure the outsourcing model continues to deliver value for Rivian. \n \n
Responsibilities
As team lead you will be responsible for all aspect of planning, management, and delivery of this team.
- \n
