We are looking for a
Self-Driving Systems Specialist (SDS Specialist)
to support the diagnostics, calibration, configuration, and technical readiness of
self-driving systems
used in
autonomous vehicles
and
robotaxi fleets
across North America.
The SDS Specialist focuses on the technology layer of autonomous mobility: sensors, compute systems, software configurations, autonomous driving hardware, system diagnostics, calibration procedures, and technical validation. This role ensures that the
self-driving system
installed in each autonomous vehicle is functioning correctly, accurately calibrated, and ready to support safe testing, commercial deployment, and
autonomous ride-hailing operations .
You will work closely with
Senior Technicians, AV Operations Leads, Safety Operators, Depot Specialists, engineering teams, and fleet operations teams
to identify technical issues, execute structured troubleshooting procedures, and support reliable operation of autonomous vehicle platforms.
This position is ideal for candidates with experience in automotive electronics, ADAS systems, embedded systems, robotics, diagnostics, calibration, or complex technical support who want to work at the center of
autonomous vehicle deployment
and
robotaxi operations .
Key Responsibilities
Self-Driving System Diagnostics
Diagnose and troubleshoot self-driving system issues affecting autonomous vehicle performance and fleet readinessInvestigate technical problems related to cameras, LiDAR, radar, GPS/GNSS, compute units, sensors, connectivity modules, wiring, and autonomous driving hardwareExecute structured diagnostic procedures to identify root causes of SDS hardware, software, and configuration issuesSupport advanced troubleshooting for autonomous vehicle faults that impact testing, commercial operations, or robotaxi fleet availabilityEscalate complex technical cases to engineering teams with clear findings and supporting documentation
Hardware Support
Inspect, repair, replace, and validate SDS hardware components installed on autonomous vehiclesSupport installation and verification of cameras, LiDAR units, radar sensors, compute hardware, sensor mounts, antennas, and related componentsConfirm that autonomous driving hardware is correctly installed, secured, clean, functional, and ready for operationCollaborate with Senior Technicians on vehicle-level issues involving both standard automotive systems and SDS componentsEnsure all hardware work is completed according to strict safety, quality, and technical procedures
Software Configuration & Updates
Perform software updates, configuration changes, and system validation checks for autonomous driving systemsExecute defined software procedures using diagnostic tools, command-line tools, configuration files, or engineering-provided workflowsVerify successful software installation and confirm that the SDS is operational before the vehicle returns to serviceSupport troubleshooting of software-related issues affecting autonomous vehicle behavior, system communication, or operational readinessMaintain accurate records of software versions, configurations, updates, and validation results
Sensor Calibration & Validation
Perform calibration and verification activities for autonomous vehicle sensors and self-driving system componentsSupport calibration workflows involving cameras, LiDAR, radar, localization systems, and other perception-related hardwareValidate that the self-driving system is functioning correctly after maintenance, software updates, hardware replacement, or vehicle serviceAssist engineering teams with data collection, calibration testing, and system performance verificationEnsure autonomous vehicles meet technical readiness requirements before returning to robotaxi operations or on-road testing
Engineering & Operations Support
Serve as the on-site subject matter expert for SDS-related technical issuesProvide structured technical findings to engineering, fleet operations, and project teamsCollaborate with AV Operations Leads to prioritize SDS-related repairs and reduce vehicle downtimeSupport incident reviews, root-cause analysis, and technical escalation processesContribute to continuous improvement of troubleshooting workflows, calibration procedures, and operational documentation
Documentation & Compliance
Maintain accurate records of diagnostics, repairs, software updates, hardware changes, and calibration activitiesFollow strict operational, safety, and technical procedures when working with autonomous driving systemsComplete all required system validation checklists and technical reportsSupport compliance with internal quality standards, safety protocols, and customer requirementsEnsure all SDS-related work is traceable, repeatable, and properly documented
Requirements
Essential
Minimum 3+ years of experience in automotive electronics, diagnostics, embedded systems, robotics, technical support, or complex technical systemsStrong troubleshooting and analytical skillsExperience working with vehicle electronics, sensors, control systems, or advanced technical hardwareComfortable following structured software procedures and technical workflowsAbility to work with diagnostic tools, logs, technical documentation, and engineering instructionsHigh attention to detail and strong procedural disciplineGood communication skills and ability to work with cross-functional technical teamsFluent English
Strongly Preferred
Experience with ADAS, autonomous vehicles, robotics, sensor systems, or advanced driver assistance technologiesFamiliarity with LiDAR, radar, camera systems, GNSS, IMU, compute units, or perception-related hardwareExperience with Linux, command-line tools, CAN bus, vehicle networks, or embedded systemsExperience performing calibration, validation, or system integration activitiesBackground in automotive testing, AV operations, robotics labs, fleet diagnostics, or technical field support
What We Are Looking For
Successful SDS Specialists are precise, structured, and technically curious. They enjoy solving complex system problems and understand that reliable
self-driving system performance
is essential for safe
autonomous vehicle operations, commercial
robotaxi services, and fleet scaling.
This role requires someone who can work carefully with advanced hardware and software, follow engineering procedures exactly, and communicate findings clearly to both technical and operational teams. You should be comfortable working in a depot or technical operations environment where autonomous vehicles must be diagnosed, validated, and returned to service quickly and safely.
What We Offer
Opportunity to work directly with self-driving systems, autonomous driving hardware, and advanced vehicle technologiesHands-on involvement in robotaxi fleet operations, autonomous vehicle testing, and autonomous ride-hailing deployment across North AmericaExposure to robotics, ADAS, sensor calibration, embedded systems, EV platforms, and next-generation mobility technologiesStructured onboarding, technical procedures, and ongoing trainingCareer development opportunities in autonomous vehicle operations, AV diagnostics, robotics, and technical fleet supportCollaboration with engineering, operations, depot, technician, and safety teamsOpportunity to support new city launches, fleet scaling, and commercial autonomous mobility programs
We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses and identifying potential inconsistencies or verification signals in application materials based on available information. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans.
