Role Summary

Rivian is looking for a Senior Digital Manufacturing Process Engineer to architect the "Gold Standard" for Virtual Builds & Digital Manufacturing across Rivian's automotive footprint. This role manages the integrity of the digital thread, ensuring simulations in the Dassault 3DEXPERIENCE environment accurately reflect physical manufacturing realities.

Responsibilities

• Standardization & Foundation: Develop a standardized "Virtual Build" playbook for data consistency and process repeatability across all shops. Serve as the liaison between business and technical requirements.
• Virtual Build & Digital Methods: Define core data structures, templates, and process libraries within the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. Consolidate manufacturing toolsets into a single source of truth for a digital twin solution.
• Technical Solutioning & Enterprise Integration: Translate high‑level business requirements into detailed technical specifications for PLM, ERP, and MES integration. Ensure the 3DEXPERIENCE environment scales and conduct audits for global standard adherence.
• Virtual Release & Seamless Integration: Design and implement "shift‑left" strategies to optimize parallel work flow development, reducing lead times for key processes within manufacturing.
• Tool Deployment & Process Governance: Establish and monitor KPIs to enforce adherence to standardized virtual build protocols. Act as the primary subject matter expert for user training and tool adoption.
• XR/VR Standardization: Define enterprise‑wide standards for XR/VR immersive reviews. Utilize VR for human‑factor evaluations to vet assembly processes for safety and ergonomics before physical prototyping.
