Vehicle Validation at Rivian ensures every product delivers exceptional function, quality, reliability, and real-world performance. We perform both verification and validation against data-driven requirements that reflect how our customers use our vehicles — connecting DFMEAs, requirements, and validation plans into a cohesive, decision-oriented process.
ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES
As Senior Manager, Vehicle Validation, you will lead the team responsible for vehicle-level validation across Rivian's Stanton Springs North (SSN) programs. Your Program Leads own day-to-day validation execution for their individual programs; your role is to set the strategy they plan against, hold them to a consistent execution standard, resolve the cross-program conflicts they can't resolve on their own, and give leadership a trustworthy picture of validation status, risk, and readiness across the full SSN portfolio.
This is a Senior Manager role: you lead multiple TPM’s within the platform, are accountable for their collective performance and results, and are expected to raise the bar on how Rivian plans, governs, and executes vehicle validation as SSN scales — including how the team adopts AI-enabled validation methods as they mature.
- Lead and develop a team of Program Leads TPM’s, each accountable for validation execution on their assigned SSN program.
- Set clear performance expectations and provide ongoing feedback and coaching to elevate team execution and decision-making.
- Translate SSN's functional goals into an actionable validation strategy and operating plan, directed through your Program Leads.
- Partner with Program, VHE, EEHW, Propulsion, Thermal, Attributes, Homologation, Autonomy, Test & Development, Manufacturing, Launch, OPD, Service, and Quality to align DVP coverage, asset plans, and long-lead test timing across programs.
- Orchestrate vehicle-level test usage and asset allocation across programs, and re-plan at the portfolio level when content churn, software slips, or build re-phasing put competing programs at risk.
- Serve as the escalation point when a Program Lead cannot resolve a validation gap, risk, or cross-functional conflict on their own.
- Establish systems to proactively monitor program progress against validation goals, and use them to give directors and VPs crisp, data-backed updates on status, risk, and tradeoffs — shaping deviation and "proceed at risk" decisions with quantified impact.
- Pilot and adopt AI-enabled validation methods, and push the team's use of dashboards and data systems (Jira, Confluence, Jama) beyond status reporting toward faster, more consistent decisions — in partnership with Rivian's broader V&V governance and tooling teams.
- Guide Program Leads in setting challenging, meaningful development goals, and publicize team wins to build the SSN validation team's reputation as a place people want to grow into.
- Champion your team's perspective in cross-functional forums, even when it's the unpopular one, without damaging working relationships.
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS
- Typically 10+ years of experience in automotive or complex electro-mechanical products, including experience in technical program management, systems engineering, validation, or similar cross-functional leadership roles.
- Deep understanding of vehicle development milestones, systems engineering, and how DVPs, DFMEAs, requirements, and build phases connect to program delivery and launch decisions, with working knowledge of automotive safety and quality standards (e.g., ISO 26262, SOTIF) as they apply to validation readiness.
- Demonstrated experience planning and orchestrating validation across multiple programs simultaneously, including asset planning, schedule integration, and issue closure at a portfolio level.
- Demonstrated experience directly managing and developing people leaders and/or senior individual contributors, setting a consistent execution standard across the team and holding people to it through coaching rather than doing the work yourself.
- Strong fluency with tools such as Jira, Confluence, Jama, and dashboards to drive decisions rather than just reporting, with working knowledge of AI-assisted validation methods (GenAI for requirements/test review, AI-based coverage analysis, data-driven defect prioritization) and interest in scaling them within a team's practice.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to synthesize complex technical issues into clear decisions and actions.
- Proven ability to influence across functions and levels, secure buy-in from senior stakeholders, and make a compelling case for change.
- Bachelor's degree in Engineering or a related technical field, or equivalent combination of education, training, and hands-on experience.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Visa Sponsorship as a Verification Engineer
Align your credentials to specialty occupation standards
USCIS requires your degree to directly relate to the Verification Engineer role. A degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or a closely related field strengthens your application. Avoid vague degree descriptions when preparing your employer's filing documents.
Use OFLC Wage Search before salary negotiations
Look up the prevailing wage for Verification Engineer roles by metro area using OFLC Wage Search. Your offer must meet or exceed this figure for LCA certification, so knowing the floor before you negotiate protects both you and your employer.
Search Migrate Mate for verified H-1B1 Singapore sponsoring employers
Migrate Mate filters Verification Engineer roles by employers with confirmed H-1B1 Singapore visa filing history, so you're not guessing which companies understand the consulate-direct process or have done it before.
Target semiconductor and EDA companies with established Singapore pipelines
Employers in hardware verification, ASIC design, and EDA tooling regularly hire from Singapore because the technical talent pool is deep there. Prioritize companies with Singapore offices or partnerships, as they're already familiar with the H-1B1 visa consulate process.
Confirm your employer will file the LCA before your consulate appointment
The Labor Condition Application must be DOL-certified before you attend your U.S. consulate interview in Singapore. Many first-time H-1B1 visa employers don't know this sequencing. Clarify the filing timeline during the offer stage, not after you've given notice.
Prepare O*NET documentation for specialty occupation evidence
If a consular officer questions whether Verification Engineer qualifies as a specialty occupation, your O*NET occupation profile showing a required bachelor's degree in a specific technical field is the fastest rebuttal. Download and keep it with your application package.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Verification Engineer role qualify as a specialty occupation under the H-1B1 Singapore visa?
Yes. Verification Engineer positions typically require at least a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or a directly related field, which meets the specialty occupation definition. The O*NET profile for this occupation supports that classification. Your employer documents this in the Labor Condition Application, and the consular officer confirms it at your interview.
How does the H-1B1 Singapore visa differ from H-1B for Verification Engineers?
The H-1B1 Singapore visa skips the lottery entirely and is processed at the U.S. Embassy in Singapore rather than through USCIS. The annual cap is 5,400 visas and has never been exhausted, so timing is far less critical than with H-1B visa. The trade-off is that H-1B1 doesn't allow dual intent, meaning you can't simultaneously pursue a green card while on H-1B1 status.
How do I find Verification Engineer employers who already understand H-1B1 Singapore sponsorship?
Migrate Mate lets you filter Verification Engineer roles by employers with confirmed H-1B1 Singapore visa filing history. That distinction matters because many U.S. companies sponsor H-1B but haven't navigated the consulate-direct H-1B1 process. Working with an employer already familiar with LCA sequencing and the Singapore consulate appointment process reduces delays significantly.
What happens to my H-1B1 status if my Verification Engineer contract ends between renewals?
H-1B1 visa status is employer-specific and tied to a certified LCA, so if your employment ends, your authorized status ends with it. You have a 60-day grace period to find a new employer who can file a new LCA and support a fresh H-1B1 application before you'd need to depart. Starting your job search before your contract ends is the most reliable way to avoid a gap.
Can my Verification Engineer employer transfer my H-1B1 if I change companies in the U.S.?
Unlike H-1B, the H-1B1 visa doesn't support portability between employers. Your new employer must file a fresh Labor Condition Application with DOL and you'll need a new consulate appointment in Singapore. Because H-1B1 is issued at the consulate rather than through USCIS, each change of employer requires going through the full consulate process again rather than a USCIS transfer petition.
