I applied online. I interviewed at Rivian (Normal, IL) in Dec 2023
Interview
6 hour interview with different engineers. It was very difficult at first but easy when you get into the Rthym, focus primarily on skills and quality of people. Few technical questions.
one phone call, one zoom interview, one presentation, mostly dealing in manufacturing and engineering. Presentation was 30 minutes plus thirty minutes of questions. Interviews were decently hard and really had to review manufacturing terminology
