Enterprise AI for Rivian Engineering

Rivian’s R2 launch runs on knowledge your AI tools can’t reach yet.

Most enterprise AI tools search the collaboration layer — wikis, chat, shared docs. The data that drives decisions for R2 lives in your PLM, your CAD. Sinequa reaches the systems of record where your engineering knowledge actually lives.

Launching R2 and reaching profitability in 2026 means your engineering org has to move faster with the same institutional knowledge, but that knowledge is scattered across PLM, CAD, quality, and supplier systems that were never built to talk to each other.

Proven in the engineering enterprises that define the industry

Backed by independent recognition from Gartner, Forrester, and SPARK Matrix™.

Measured over three years.

With Sinequa, our engineers can ask a complex, multi-part question and get a concise answer plus the underlying evidence. That’s a game-changer for design, warranty, and failure analysis.

The knowledge that runs Rivian lives in systems of record. Your AI should too.

In automotive engineering, the answers your teams need aren’t sitting in chat threads and shared folders. They’re in the current revision of a part. The engineering change order. The validation result. The supplier spec. The 30-year-old design decision that still constrains today’s platform.

That knowledge lives in PLM, CAD and engineering drawings, QMS, and ERP — systems of record general-purpose AI tools were never built to reach. And an AI assistant is only as useful as the systems it can actually get inside.

Sinequa reaches the systems of record where your engineering and manufacturing knowledge actually lives — not just the collaboration and office tools your teams talk in.

Your most valuable R&D data lives in your PLM. Most AI can’t read it.

 

Rivian designs across Dassault Systèmes 3DEXPERIENCE and references Siemens Teamcenter. That’s where your part histories, BOMs, change orders, and design intent live, the high-value data that makes an engineering answer trustworthy

A connector on a checklist isn’t the same as deep, reliable indexing. The question isn’t “is it supported?”, it’s “can an engineer trust the answer it returns, trace it back to the source revision, and act on it?”

Sinequa indexes 2D/3D CAD and PLM at depth, correlates it with quality and supplier data, and returns answers an engineer can stake a decision on, with full source traceability.

What an enterprise AI platform for automotive engineering actually needs

Demos and connector lists rarely surface the differences that decide a real deployment.

1

Reach into your systems of record.

PLM, CAD and engineering drawings, QMS, and ERP are core infrastructure. Most platforms can’t effectively pull from the systems where the answers live.

2

Depth, not just a connector.

A connector says “supported.” Real indexing means an engineer can trust the answer, trace it to the source, and act on it with confidence.

3

Deployment control.

Cloud, hybrid, on-premise, or fully air-gapped. For IP-sensitive vehicle programs, deployment control isn’t a preference.

4

Cross-language retrieval.

Global engineering teams design in one language and build in another. A query in English should surface the right document, whatever language it was authored in.

5

Relevance tuned to your vocabulary.

Part numbers, engineering terminology, and your internal naming. Generic relevance and engineering relevance are not the same thing.

6

Governance at scale.

Document-level access controls enforced at query time, across billions of documents, so an answer never exposes what a user isn’t cleared to see.

These requirements are drawn from the patterns we see across the industry’s most complex deployments. Read the State of Enterprise Agentic AI 2026 →

Simple questions. Strategic impact.

These aren’t search queries, they’re the multi-step questions your engineers ask every day, where the answer is buried across PLM, CAD, quality, and supplier systems. Each one below shows the question on the left and what Sinequa returns on the right. A quick, reliable answer to any of them saves weeks and real money on an R2-scale program.

PART REUSE & VALIDATION

“Show me all parts similar to [part #] that passed crash and durability validation.”

Candidates returned with test history, design lineage, and supplier data, in seconds.

CHANGE IMPACT ANALYSIS

“What’s the impact of changing this material spec on the battery enclosure assembly?”

Affected BOMs, linked test procedures, and downstream supplier contracts mapped, compliance risks flagged.

QUALITY & BOM RECONCILIATION

Flag mismatches between the engineering BOM and the manufacturing BOM.”

Discrepancies surfaced before they become a line-down or a recall.

STRATEGIC SOURCING

“Rank qualified suppliers for this component by lead time and cost per unit.”

Ranked, sourced, and traceable, directly relevant to cost-down targets.

Built for the systems Rivian already runs

Sinequa connects to 200+ enterprise applications and 300+ file formats — including 2D/3D CAD — with no custom coding. Connectors inherit and enforce your existing permissions, so every engineer and every AI agent sees only what they’re authorized to see, with real-time sync.
