Responsibilities

• To support global governmental approvals, own the end-to-end development and maintenance of the regulatory-facing safety cases for Rivian’s autonomous driving systems.
• Synthesize complex technical data from Autonomy, AI, and Systems Engineering into structured, defensible safety arguments.
• Identify and curate safety evidence across hardware, software, and simulation environments to justify the sufficiency of regulatory-facing safety claims.
• Drive the evolution and maintenance of the government-mandated safety cases as the Operational Design Domain (ODD) expands and system capabilities mature.
• Develop and support processes to streamline compliance tracking, ensuring all safety evidence and regulatory requirements are systematically captured and maintained.
• Represent Rivian as a safety technical expert in discussions with regulatory agencies and governmental bodies worldwide.
• Prepare comprehensive safety case materials for submissions, formal audits, and external assessments.
• Address technical questions and feedback from regulators, ensuring all findings are resolved with rigorous engineering data.
• Track and influence evolving regulatory expectations for ADS safety case content and technical requirements.
• Support other regulatory initiatives or activities as needed.
