PLM and PDM Specialists

Rivian's recent announcement of a six percent reduction in force is a further reminder of the macroeconomic headwinds many start- and scale-ups in the complex engineering space continue to face on their NPD and NPI journeys.

However, this shouldn't overshadow the scale of innovation, effort, and ingenuity brought to bear over recent years to problems that remain challenging even for the best run of established OEMs.

So, if you're one of Rivian's affected employees in the PLM / PDM space and want to bring those same winning qualities to a more diverse range of organisations working on game-changing technologies, QR_'s Michigan and California business units are keen to hear from you.
