Why work with us?

Company

Locations

Forever starts with us

There’s a magic that occurs when people from different worlds, with different lived experiences and perspectives, surround a challenge from all sides. If it were up to us, every person on the planet would be joining forces to mitigate climate change. The carbonization of our atmosphere presents a great threat to humanity, but with some imagination, and a shared commitment to drastically reducing emissions, a better way forward is possible.

We Are Rivian

Starting from a clean sheet has allowed us to learn from and leverage what’s been done in the past while giving us the freedom to reimagine mobility from the ground up. Our vehicles and technology are designed and engineered to challenge what’s possible and to inspire people to explore the world in new ways.

We believe in the power of adventure. Science and invention depend on our innate curiosity and desire to explore the unknown. While a vehicle can’t make someone adventurous, it can nurture that fundamental desire in each of us to go places we’ve never been and do things we’ve never done — thoughtfully and sustainably.

The Adventure Is Just Beginning

Doing something different is never easy. It requires courage, optimism and grit. Core to delivering on our vision is building a team of curious individuals, determined to make a positive impact on the world. This means challenging ourselves, stretching beyond the bounds of conventional thinking, reframing old problems, seeking new solutions and operating comfortably in a space of uncertainty.

Our team has a diverse set of backgrounds— but at heart, we are adventurers on a mission to move the world in a new direction. We’re currently looking for thinkers and doers with a strong sense of adventure to join us on this journey.

We’re thrilled to announce a partnership with Redwood Materials to deploy a pioneering battery energy storage system at our Normal, Illinois manufacturing plant. Using more than 100 Rivian battery packs from decommissioned vehicles, we are creating 10 megawatt-hours (MWh) of dispatchable energy to support our on-site operations. This partnership gives a valuable energy resource a new life. While EV batteries are designed to last hundreds of thousands of miles, they can remain incredibly useful as stationary storage long after a vehicle is retired. By integrating these "second-life" packs into our manufacturing ecosystem, we can reduce grid load during peak demand, lower costs, and support a more resilient and secure power system without the need for new infrastructure. It’s a blueprint for rapidly scaling second-life batteries nationwide and building the grid of the future. “EVs represent a massive, distributed and highly competitive energy resource,” said Founder and CEO RJ Scaringe. “As energy needs grow, our grid needs to be flexible, secure, and affordable. Our partnership with Redwood enables us to utilize our vehicles’ batteries beyond the life of a vehicle and contribute to grid health and American competitiveness." We’re excited to work alongside the Redwood team to extend the useful life of our battery packs and support a reliable and secure future for American energy. ...Show more
