  • Sensors, Camera Failures, and a False-Positive Case StudyRivian · Software Engineer · Senior+ · Technical Screen · Sep 2026

    A recruiter contacted me, and I then interviewed with the hiring manager for an autonomous-vehicle systems role. The interview lasted one hour and began with brief introductions from both of us. The manager then gave me a set of driving capabilities and asked how I would choose the types and placement of sensors needed to support those capabilities. Next, I was asked about the external failure mo…

  • Rivian Software Engineer Interview Experience: OOP problem and delayed progressionRivian · Software Engineer · HR Screen · Jul 2026

    After a recruiter screen, I answered resume-based behavioral questions and then had a technical interview built around an object-oriented problem tailored to the team. It seemed focused on how I reasoned, not only whether I could write code.

The hiring manager meeting included more role-fit questions, after which communication slowed down.…

After that, I had panel-style interviews with several interviewers from different teams. Each round included time for questions and follow-ups. The format combined behavioral and technical fit without feeling like a trick. In one of the later sessions, I…

  • Rivian Software Engineer interview with robotics debuggingRivian · Software Engineer · May 2026

    The process felt fairly straightforward from the beginning. The interviewers were friendly, and we spent a lot of time discussing my actual projects and what I worked on day to day. Early on, I realized the role had been described in a way that blended into a systems engineering focus in the autonomy space, and the questions matched that impression. One round focused on systems thinking and how I…
