Test Technician

Job functions:

1. Monitor and control operation of 4-post shaker, thermal chamber and heat lamps to execute the test profile on a prototype vehicle.

4. Communicate observed issues with the vehicle and chamber to the coordinating Rivian engineer/technician in a timely manner. Participate in daily handoffs to day shift personnel discussing test progress and any issues observed.

Testing/Vehicle Validation experience preferred, automotive technology a plus. Basic measurement skills, ability to complete tasks with precision, attention to detail, keen observation skills are needed in this role.
