tests ensuring the durability and reliability of Rivian products. The ideal candidate will have a

foundational understanding of corrosion processes materials science and testing methodologies

and will work under the guidance of senior engineers to execute and analyze corrosion tests.

Key Responsibilities :

Manage VehicleLevel Corrosion Tests :

• Plan coordinate and execute corrosion tests on full vehicles.
• Monitor test conditions and ensure that testing protocols are strictly followed.
• Collect document analyze and communicate test data to identify corrosion
• issues.
• Manage ComponentLevel Corrosion Tests :
• Design and implement corrosion tests for individual vehicle components.
• Work closely with design and materials teams to select appropriate test methods
• and materials.
• Analyze test results and provide recommendations for material or design
• improvements.
• Data Analysis and Reporting :
• Analyze corrosion test data and compile detailed reports.
• Present findings to the engineering team highlighting potential risks and

suggested corrective actions.

• Maintain accurate records of all tests procedures and results.
• Collaboration and Communication :
