Investing in the next generation of great technical and automotive talent is not just a passion of ours, it’s a necessity for advancement in innovation and ingenuity – especially in places we’re hoping to grow. We were delighted to recently host a day of exploration and inspiration for the electrical engineering students of Belgrade University as part of their Programming Mobile Devices course. Led and organised by Nemanja Djurisic, Milos Budisin, Nikola Mihalek and Dunja Pi?tevi? and with a special welcome from our European General Manager, Erhun Arkan, students got an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at our innovative technology, including immersive vehicle ride alongs and interactive team fireside chats. It was a fantastic opportunity to share insights and exchange ideas. We’re proud to be collaborating with the university’s faculty, and our engineers will continue supporting and coordinating hands-on practices with the students as they dive deeper into mobile device programming. If you or someone you know is interested in joining the Rivian software teams in #Europe, you can find our open roles on our careers site: rivn.co/RivianCareers. #rivian | #adventurousforever | #belgrade | #serbia

Rivian is sponsoring the 50th anniversary of the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers (#SHPE) National Convention this week. In celebration of the occasion, we chatted with Javier Mendoza—SHPE member, Sr. Electrical Test Engineer, and Chair of Rivian’s LatinX Belonging Resource Group (BRG), Rivian Familia—about takeaways from his time at Rivian. Javier started his professional journey in Mexico testing and launching safety ECUs, procuring machinery, and installing and maintaining manufacturing lines. When he began working at Rivian, his first U.S.-based position, he explained, “I wanted to be part of a group that helps people and supports belonging.” So two years ago, Javier began working with Rivian Familia as the Normal Plant Ambassador to help support the Hispanic community in the plant. “That experience opened my eyes to the great impact that could be made and led me to grow the network.” “This year, becoming Chair of the BRG, has been an inspiration. The support and camaraderie I’ve felt are unparalleled. Leading alongside incredibly talented Hispanic leaders has been an honor. It has pushed me out of my comfort zone and expanded my network exponentially. I’m so thrilled that we have the opportunity to return to SHPE this year to meet more of the Hispanic professional community!” “Along with other leaders at Rivian, I believe it's not only important to support organizations like SHPE, but necessary. Mindsets shaped by ‘Stay Open’, ‘Zoom Out’, ‘Come Together’, these core values are some of the bedrock ideals that keep us stable, yet malleable enough to withstand an ever-evolving industry. By sponsoring events like SHPE, we’re meeting and welcoming new talent to accelerate innovation through diversity of thought. Rivian is a leader in the EV market, and will continue thriving when exceptional teams work together to keep the world adventurous forever.” Javier is thrilled to be attending the SHPE National Convention in person this week and his message to aspiring SHPE attendees (and hopefully future Rivianites) is, “Be your authentic selves, dream big and work tirelessly. Opportunities often arise unexpectedly, but you must seize them. Let Rivian be a part of your journey.” Want to learn more about Rivian and exciting career opportunities with us?

We can’t wait to meet you! #rivian | #adventurousforever | #shpe24 | #foreverisforeveryone

In celebration of historic #Route66, three friends recently embarked on a road trip across the great state of Illinois, land of Abraham Lincoln, and the birthplace of all Rivian vehicles made today. In partnership with The Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity (DCEO), the Illinois Office of Tourism and adventure lifestyle publisher Matador Network, Rivian had the opportunity to celebrate Route 66 as part of “Illinois Recharged: Real Stories on Route 66.” This campaign highlights a future-forward way of enjoying the historic highway—ahead of its upcoming 100th anniversary—while showcasing local businesses and attractions throughout the state. The 300-mile journey was completed entirely in a custom-wrapped Rivian R1S, and showcases the ease of EV travel throughout the state of Illinois. You can catch the series on the Roku Channel (rivn.co/IL_Recharged), or Enjoy Illinois’ YouTube Channel (rivn.co/EnjoyIL). #rivian | #adventurousforever | #enjoyillinois | #matadornetwork | #sustainabletravel

The Low Carbon Fuel Standard (#LCFS) has been a cornerstone of California's climate strategy since its inception in 2011. Recently, policymakers have proposed changes to this standard that would incentivize the auto industry to go above and beyond its minimum EV sales requirements while enabling us to make larger investments in widely available charging infrastructure and other priorities. Additional program rules, if finalized, would support earlier investments in public chargers, even in parts of the state where EVs are not yet common such as rural and underserved communities. These are smart ideas — complementing the state’s broader approach to transportation decarbonization — and Rivian is advocating for them to ensure that California realizes its EV goals as quickly as possible. On November 8, the California Air Resources Board can finalize important updates to the LCFS, setting robustly revised targets, improving program rules to support charging infrastructure, and finding new ways to use LCFS revenues to grow the EV market — and greater sustainability within the transportation sector — as quickly as we can. We encourage the Board to do just that, setting yet another example of California’s leadership for the world. #rivian | #adventurousforever | #sustainability
