This week, we were delighted to host the first-ever Adventure with Pride event at the Rivian South Coast Theater in Laguna Beach, organized by our Rainbow Rivianites Belonging Resource Group! This special evening brought together Rivian employees, members of the Southern CA LGBTQIA2S+ communities and allies for a night of celebration, #culture, and uplifting voices.     The event featured a series of thought-provoking short films followed by a powerful panel discussion with inspiring members of the LGBTQIA2S+ community, including award-winning production designer Nelson Coates, professional surfer Kassia Meador, actor, influencer and advocate, Brandon Kyle Goodman and Sr. Director, Workplace Equality Program at Human Rights Campaign RaShawn Hawkins.  We were also honored to hear from special guests from The Outwords Archive (OUTWORDS) and AIDS/LifeCycle.    “The community really needed an event like this,” said Nathan, local Laguna Beach resident in attendance. “Rivian did such a great job with the rehabilitation of the theater and seeing them hold an event that represents ‘my’ community shows that they really do care about us.”     We’re so grateful to everyone who joined us. Your participation made it a truly special event filled with connection, understanding, and celebration.    Rivian is committed to creating a welcoming space for everyone.

International Women in Engineering Day is a time to celebrate inspiring women like Mojan S. Sohi. A seasoned engineer turned Senior Manager of Design for Reliability at Rivian, Mojan leads a team of multidisciplinary engineers responsible for ensuring the longevity of Rivian's mechanical systems, including chassis, body structures, closures and interiors. We recently sat down with her to discuss her career journey and what keeps her passionate about engineering at Rivian.    “It took me years to pin down what I was really interested in within engineering, but I think I’ve finally found it in Design for Reliability,” notes Mojan. “I think what I enjoy most is the problem-solving aspect. As an engineer, you have a toolbox filled with knowledge – physics, data analytics, chemistry, material science… the list goes on. You get to apply these skills to real-world challenges.    At the end of the day, the tangibility of it all is incredibly rewarding. You can touch the product you helped create, something people will buy, use and get excited about. That connection to the final product is what I find most fulfilling. You can really see your impact at Rivian – you apply your tools, and there it is, right there in the vehicle itself.    Loving the product you work on is essential – it keeps the daily grind exciting. And let's be honest, Rivian's products are fantastic. But what truly sets Rivian apart is the people. The team I work with is incredible! We enjoy the work and there's a great sense of camaraderie. Every week, I look forward to collaborating with them.     There's a genuine level of trust between teams, something I haven't always experienced. Having worked in both #tech and #automotive, I've seen the extremes of work pace and workplace culture. Rivian strikes a perfect balance. We move fast and have ambitious goals, but there's a strong sense of shared purpose. We might disagree during meetings, but it's always in pursuit of the same objective: creating an exceptional product and delivering an unforgettable owner experience. This shared obsession, in my opinion, is the biggest factor behind Rivian's success.”    Inspired by Mojan's experience and want to make a real impact on our engineering teams?

To celebrate Pride Month at Rivian, we chatted with Joseph Ramelli, Manager, Vehicle Operations, about his full circle journey – from joining Rivian to leading the Rainbow Rivianites, our LGBTQIA2S+ Belonging Resource Group (BRG). “Three years ago, I had a recruiter reach out to me about a job at Rivian. Honestly, I’d never heard of the company. When I did my research to learn more about it, I came across a LinkedIn post from a senior executive at Rivian who was discussing his experience as a gay man at the company. He talked about how he was able to be his ‘sassy self’, about his husband and his family and just how comfortable he felt with his colleagues. I remember immediately reaching back out to the recruiter to tell them I was interested in the job. Shortly after that, I started my new role at Rivian and never looked back. Fast forward to a year ago, when I became the chair of the BRG for the LGBTQIA2S+ community here at Rivian called ‘Rainbow Rivianites’. I feel so lucky to be able to be my authentic self at work. I think about a previous job where I was told to “tone it down” by some leaders and felt judged at times. Here at Rivian, I get to talk about my fiancé, our dog and just share about our life. Without hesitation, I bring my whole self and my full personality to work without fear of judgement. Since becoming the chair, I’ve really wanted us to focus on the word 'community'; both inside and outside of Rivian. I want to celebrate our employees and make sure they can show up authentically at work. Creating a culture of inclusion and celebration internally is the first step toward making sure that our owners and future owners can interact with Rivian knowing they are welcomed and safe in all our spaces too. I still think fondly of that post three years ago that inspired me to join Rivian. Today, I’m grateful to be part of this inclusive culture and hopeful that my story might give someone thinking about joining the company the courage to take the plunge.”   Interested in joining our employee community at Rivian?
