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 Senior Systems Engineer will play a pivotal role in the Rivian Cost Engineering organization. The role will be responsible for building end to end automation to accurately analyze the costs associated with components across Rivian vehicles. Your expertise in CAD Design, System Design, Data Analysis and Cost Estimation will be crucial in ensuring the Cost Engineering team keeps pace with fast moving Engineering and Procurement organizations. Resumen del puesto: Como ingeniero/a de sistemas sénior, desempeñará un papel fundamental en la organización Cost Engineering de Rivian. Este rol tendrá la responsabilidad de desarrollar una automatización integral que permita analizar con precisión los costos asociados a los componentes de todos los vehículos Rivian. Su experiencia en el diseño CAD y de sistemas, el análisis de datos y la estimación de costos será fundamental para garantizar que el equipo de Cost Engineering pueda seguir el ritmo de las organizaciones Engineering y Procurement, en constante evolución. Responsibilities Cost Engineering Integrate PLM (3D Experience/CATIA) with Cost Estimating tools using APIs and file system automation to ensure CAD data flows seamlessly to reduce non-value add work of moving data from one place to another. Analyze accuracy and structure of CAD and BOM data and fix any issues before building Cost Estimates. Utilize information ranging from written assumptions, sample parts, CAD models and engineering drawings. Create initial Cost Estimate of multiple vehicle commodities especially mechanical components – Stampings, Injection Molding, High Pressure Die Casting, Extrusion, Forging, Machining, etc. Gather details and compile data to estimate all production costs considering raw materials, labor, and tooling for estimations or should cost models. Work with the PLM team to identify and address repeated issues that are resulting in inefficiencies to optimize the process. Work with Cost Engineering Lead of Cost Estimating Software and 3rd party Software vendors to address any issues on the Cost Estimating Software side that are resulting in delays or errors. Continuously analyze data using Databricks to highlight trends to Cost Engineers and Managers for future cost model development and target costs. Project Management Assume ownership of projects; plan milestones and identify potential risks to ensure timely delivery of cost models within agreed completion dates. Proactively manage task completion and regularly update cross-functional teams on project status, timing, resource allocation, challenges, and the likelihood of on-time, high-quality delivery. Responsabilidades: Cost Engineering Integrar PLM (3D Experience/CATIA) con herramientas de estimación de costos usando las API y la automatización del sistema de archivos para garantizar que los datos CAD se transmitan de forma fluida y así reducir el trabajo de trasladar los datos de un lugar a otro, que no aporta valor agregado. Analizar la precisión y estructura de los datos de CAD y BOM y corregir cualquier problema antes de elaborar las estimaciones de costos. Aprovechar información diversa: hipótesis escritas, piezas de muestra, modelos de CAD y planos de ingeniería. Elaborar una estimación de costos inicial de diversos insumos de automoción, especialmente componentes mecánicos: estampación, moldeo por inyección, fundición a presión, extrusión, forja, mecanizado, etc. Recopilar detalles y reunir datos para estimar todos los costos de producción, tomando en cuenta las materias primas, la mano de obra y las herramientas a la hora de realizar estimaciones o modelos de costos (should-cost). Colaborar con el equipo de PLM para identificar y abordar los problemas recurrentes que generen ineficiencias, con el objetivo de optimizar el proceso. Colaborar con el responsable de Cost Engineering sobre el software de estimación de costos y con proveedores de software de terceros, a fin de abordar cualquier problema con el software de estimación de costos que esté provocando demoras o errores. Analizar continuamente los datos usando Databricks para señalar las tendencias a los ingenieros y responsables de costos de cara al futuro desarrollo de modelos y objetivos de costos. Gestión de proyectos Asumir la responsabilidad de los proyectos; planear hitos e identificar riesgos potenciales para garantizar la entrega puntual de los modelos de costos dentro de las fechas de finalización acordadas. Gestionar de forma proactiva la finalización de tareas e informar periódicamente a equipos multifuncionales sobre el estado de los proyectos, los plazos, la dotación de recursos, los desafíos y la probabilidad de una entrega a tiempo y de alta calidad.
