  • Rapidly troubleshoot and resolve novel or complex technical issues impacting autonomous vehicle systems, including hardware, software, and electrical subsystems.
  • Analyze data from engineering drawings, databases, and field actions to consolidate and escalate reliability issues to the engineering team in a concise and actionable manner.
  • Collaborate with engineering to develop and document real-time mitigation actions, long-term containment options, and corrective/preventative measures.
  • Meticulously document all troubleshooting and return-to-service actions, including findings from daily reports and testing, by creating and updating actionable engineering tickets.
  • Create and maintain standardized installation and repair documentation (SOPs), focusing on making all programming, calibration, and testing procedures reliable and repeatable for service partners and technicians.
  • Interpret engineering changes (e.g., deviations, change orders) and create clear, comprehensive procedures for implementing these changes in field environments such as warehouses, repair shops, and customer locations.

    • Required Skills:

  • BS or MS in a STEM-related field (e.g., Engineering, Computer Science, etc.), or equivalent combination of education and work experience.
  • Relevant work experience involving analysis, engineering, or technical system testing, preferably within the automotive or autonomous vehicle industry.
  • Strong technical proficiency with Linux command line and experience using software version control systems (e.g., GIT).
  • Familiarity with containerization (Docker), scripting languages (Python, Bash), and automotive software-based diagnostic systems.
  • Experience with collaboration tools such as Google Workspace and Atlassian (Jira/Confluence).
  • Demonstrated ability to collect, organize, analyze, and disseminate significant amounts of information with meticulous attention to detail and accuracy.
  • Ability to work as a self-starter in a rapidly changing, fast-paced environment and take on increased responsibility.
  • Must be capable of safely lifting up to 80+ lbs and repeatedly entering/exiting vehicles as large as Class 8 (semi-trucks).
