Technical Security Engineer (Service)

Rivian is on a mission to keep the world adventurous forever. This goes for the emissions-free Electric Adventure Vehicles we build, and the curious, courageous souls we seek to attract.

As a company, we constantly challenge what's possible, never simply accepting what has always been done. We reframe old problems, seek new solutions and operate comfortably in areas that are unknown. Our backgrounds are diverse, but our team shares a love of the outdoors and a desire to protect it for future generations.

The Technical Security Engineer will be responsible for engineering support of Rivian's physical security technology deployments, specifically focused on our global Service Center typology. You'll be responsible for the entire engineering lifecycle of these tech deployments - owning the programming, commissioning, and reliability of the devices we install, in addition to ensuring that their use meets the operational needs of our security operations team and close business partners. Our service portfolio is large, fast paced, and demanding - you'll be expected to dive deep, get your hands dirty in the field, and execute with precision. While no two days will end up looking the same, generally speaking you'll be responsible for the following things:

• Program, configure, commission, and test all of our physical security devices. The project managers will physically install it for you - your job is to bring it to life, give it purpose, and make it useful.
• Ensure the operational availability and reliability of all of the physical security devices that we've deployed. We invest heavily in our technology and platforms; everything must be functional, online, and ready to use by our operational teams.
• Provide hands-on support for our security team, literally and figuratively. Some days you'll be a keyboard warrior buried in slacks, zooms, and configs and other days you'll be in the field physically installing, fixing, or troubleshooting devices.
• Provide design engineering support for our new construction projects, moves/adds/changes (MACs), and any other special projects that pop up. You're the engineering SME and the team will look to you to help build it the right way.
• Build strong relationships and collaborate closely with our security operations teams to understand their needs and translate operational requirements into technical solutions. We get to help make their dreams a reality.
• Harden, patch, and update our technical security devices. Cyber threats are real, new functionality becomes available, and every device has a lifecycle. You'll own it.
• Provide technical security support for our facilities maintenance teams, security operations center (SOC), and security operations teams. When they call, you answer!
• Utilize Rivian tech platforms for issue tracking, alerting, documentation, and communication. These aren't the fun parts of the job, but they're important.
• Maintain databases, datasets, and logical access to our technical security systems. Our data is gold. You'll ensure that the correct controls are in place to protect it.
• Support cross functional business teams with requests for workflows, features, and integrations. You'll get several new asks, everyday. Your job is to filter them, prioritize impact, and execute with a bias towards action.
• Foster close collaboration with partners in Enterprise Technology, including our Cybersecurity, Networking, Platform Engineering, Digital Tech, and Support teams. They're our friends and we're largely dependent on them to help make the magic happen.
• Provide engineering support, in varying forms, to the larger technical security team. Priorities change, workload fluctuates, and we have some wicked ideas. Teamwork makes the dream work.
• HEADS UP:
  • You'll be on call 24/7. Yep, really. Things break; usually when you're already super busy or fast asleep. Either way, you're the person everyone will call when it's critical.
  • You'll need to be flexible with your hours. Our Service Center portfolio stretches from Germany to Hawaii - timezones, coordination, and onsite support is challenging. We're also in the business of minimizing operational impact and delivering construction projects on time. This means that you'll occasionally work nights, weekends, or holidays to support our business needs.
  • You'll likely need to travel internationally, when it makes sense. Not everything can be built and/or fixed remotely. Sometimes you'll need to be onsite with the team or you'll need to get hands on - whatever it takes to get the job done.

Some teams have strict requirements about certifications, degrees, and things like that. Not us! We're more interested in the unique perspectives and expertise you'll bring to the team, rather than acronyms on your resume. However, you'll be much more likely to be successful in this role if these bullet points seem like a good description of you:

• You've been a technical security engineer for a little while now, probably in the realm of 2+ years
• Your technical skills are wide and deep. You're a master of physical security technology, including all core IT dependencies, and you're a wizard at things like querying and scripting
• You enjoy building things. If we handed you a pile of parts and a soldering iron you would build us something great!
• You're really good at deploying resilient, scalable, solutions that are frictionless for end users
• You frequently get praise from your peers and coworkers about your communication skills, both written and verbal
• You have effective methods to handle stress and pressure, even in high intensity or emotionally charged situations and environments
• You're meticulous and demand perfection
