About The Role

You’ll play a key role in deploying, testing, and upgrading hardware and software systems on autonomous vehicles and buses. Working closely with our integration and software teams, you’ll identify and resolve faults in real‑world conditions — on real vehicles, not simulations. This is a rare opportunity to gain deep, hands‑on experience with some of the most advanced autonomous systems in the field.

Responsibilities

• Implement and integrate software and hardware systems on autonomous vehicles and buses
• Diagnose, report, and resolve system faults in the field

• 4+ years of experience diagnosing and maintaining electronic and/or electrical systems in passenger vehicles or buses
• Ability to read schematics and work fluently across both software and electrical domains
• Hands‑on experience with advanced vehicle diagnostic equipment
• Strong understanding of computer hardware, including building and upgrading high‑performance systems
• Comfort with extended field sessions — including multi‑hour rides on autonomous vehicles in varying weather conditions
• Ability to work under pressure and meet deadlines in dynamic field environments
• Willingness to travel internationally for 2–4 weeks at a time, multiple times per year
• High proficiency in both English and Hebrew (required for collaboration with our Israel‑based teams)
• Valid driver's license — required
• Familiarity with the autonomous vehicle industry — a plus
