Sr. Remanufacturing Technician - Consideration

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.

Working together with your team, the Sr. Remanufacturing Technician will be responsible for the disassembly and reassembly of selected Rivian powertrain and electric components returned from Service Centers. You will safely and accurately record the condition of returned components during the disassembly of EV propulsion systems (HV battery packs, Drive Units, and Power Electronics). During remanufacturing and reassembly, the Sr. Remanufacturing Technician will be responsible for recording critical data to track reliability and quality.

Ideal candidates would be one who is open to new ideas and loves to continuously learn. To be successful in this role you must have a customer‑first approach, a quality core, and a team centered mentality.
