About this role
Diagnose, repair, and calibrate autonomous vehicle systems to support safe and reliable fleet operation. The role performs advanced mechanical/electrical troubleshooting, sensor and compute validation, and field testing with engineering and operations teams.
Key Responsibilities
- Perform complex mechanical and electrical diagnostics and repairs on AV powertrain, braking, suspension, and high-voltage systems
- Calibrate and validate sensors including LiDAR, radar, camera arrays, GPS units, and IMUs
- Install, configure, and replace AV components such as compute modules, communication units, wiring harnesses, and networking equipment
- Support software deployments and log reviews for firmware and hardware performance feedback
- Conduct on-road and closed-course AV testing with real-time troubleshooting and documentation
Technical Overview
Hands-on AV technician responsibilities focused on sensor systems (LiDAR, radar, camera arrays, GPS, IMUs), AV compute hardware, and vehicle networking such as CAN networks and LIN bus. Includes root-cause analysis, calibration/validation, diagnostics tooling, software deployment support, and on-road plus closed-course testing.
Ideal Candidate
The ideal candidate is an experienced automotive, EV, robotics, or AV technician with 3-5+ years performing advanced diagnostics, repairs, and calibrations on autonomous vehicle systems. They are strong in mechanical and electrical troubleshooting and have hands-on experience with sensor systems like LiDAR, radar, and camera arrays plus AV compute hardware.
