Rivian Software Engineer interview: project discussion and high-voltage experience

My screening was laid-back and centered mostly on my resume and projects. I talked through my previous work, and the first interview went into more detailed technical questions related to one of my projects. I was also asked about my high-voltage experience.

There were some additional technical questions, but they weren’t overly complicated. It felt like they were checking whether my past work translated into real understanding, especially the high-voltage work, rather than trying to derail me with difficult theory.

The process ended without an offer, but I didn’t feel completely out of my depth. The difficulty matched my background closely enough that the interviews mostly tested how clearly I could explain and reason about work I had already done.

Location: Irvine, CA. Overall feedback: Positive. Offer status: No offer.
