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.
Machine Learning Engineer – Mission-Critical
About the Role
We are looking for a full-time Machine Learning Engineer with deep knowledge and strong enthusiasm towards establishing a state-of-the-art AI infrastructure for training very large foundation models and accelerating model training/inference.
Our mission is to solve the autonomous driving problem. You will work with a team of talented software engineers, machine learning engineers, and research scientists to push the boundary of state-of-the-art machine learning models which will enable the next-generation end-to-end solution for autonomous driving.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
