Get Paid to Help Shape the Future of Self-Driving Cars

Ever wondered what it’s like to work on autonomous vehicle technology? As an Autonomous Vehicle Operator, you’ll sit in the driver’s seat while the car drives itself, monitoring live passenger service and testing operations. It isn’t traditional driving. You’ll be the human feedback loop that helps engineers make autonomous technology safer and smarter every day.

What You’ll Do

  • Monitor autonomous vehicle behavior in real time to keep operation safe in dynamic traffic
  • Stay ready to take manual control whenever conditions require
  • Log unexpected vehicle behavior clearly and concisely for engineering review
  • Welcome passengers, answer their questions, and ensure a safe, smooth ride from pickup to drop-off
  • Work flexible shifts, including early mornings, evenings, or weekends

What You Bring

  • High school diploma or equivalent
  • Valid driver’s license with 3 years of driving experience and a clean driving record
  • A strong safety mindset and the focus to stay vigilant during long monitoring periods
  • Comfort with technical systems, mobile devices, and digital reporting tools
  • Clear, calm, concise communication, especially in dynamic situations
  • Ability to pass a background check, MVR check, and drug screen (including THC)
  • Ability to complete paid online training and an in-vehicle certification program before full deployment

Nice to Have

  • Strong attention to detail and an organized approach to documenting observations
  • Coachable, adaptable, and quick to learn
  • Ability to regularly lift up to 30 lbs and assist passengers in wheelchairs, including pushing a wheelchair up a vehicle ramp

What’s in It for You

  • Paid training and certification
  • Flexible part-time hours that fit your schedule
  • Hands-on experience with cutting-edge autonomous vehicle technology
