About the role
Waymo is building the world’s most trusted driver. Our depot keeps the local robotaxi fleet charged, clean, inspected, and ready for riders.
As a Depot Operations Associate, you will move vehicles through intake, charging, cleaning, inspection, and dispatch so every car that leaves the yard is service-ready.
You will:
- Receive vehicles into the depot and stage them for charging, cleaning, inspection, or maintenance
- Charge and monitor electric fleet vehicles and report charger or battery issues
- Complete interior and exterior readiness (clean, restock, inspect cabin and sensors)
- Perform pre-trip and post-trip checks using Waymo depot tools and checklists
- Troubleshoot routine vehicle, charging, and depot-equipment issues and escalate what cannot be resolved on the floor
- Manually move vehicles in the yard and on short off-site transfers when required
- Flag damage, sensor issues, warning lights, and safety concerns to technicians and leads
- Document work in the fleet system so vehicle status is accurate in real time
- Follow high-voltage, pedestrian, and yard-safety procedures at all times
- Support surge periods (events, weather, and peak demand) with fast, safe turnaround
- Partner with technicians, dispatch, and city operations to keep fleet availability high
You have:
- A valid driver’s license and a clean driving record
- Strong technical troubleshooting skills, including the ability to diagnose basic vehicle, charging, and equipment issues and follow a structured problem-solving process
- Ability to work on-site in a depot environment (standing, walking, light lifting, indoor/outdoor, and variable weather)
- Comfort working nights, weekends, and holidays on a rotating shift
- Basic computer skills and willingness to learn fleet software
- Strong attention to detail and a safety-first mindset
Nice to have:
- Experience in fleet, rental, car wash, warehouse, aviation ramp, or automotive service
- EV charging or high-voltage awareness training
- Bilingual skills relevant to the local market
- Prior work in a 24/7 operations environment
What success looks like
Vehicles leave the depot clean, charged, inspected, and on time. Issues are identified, troubleshot, and logged the first time they’re seen. The yard stays organized and safe during high-volume shifts.
