Job description

Want to be part of transforming road freight – for good? Einride is showing the world a new way to move, based on the latest digital, electric and autonomous technologies. Through freight capacity as a service, we enable businesses around the world to accelerate towards their sustainability goals.

Founded in 2016, Einride became the first company in the world to deploy a cab-less autonomous electric vehicle on a public road (Sweden, 2019). In 2022, we were the first to successfully operate such a vehicle on a US public road. Today our award‑winning technology has been launched across 8 countries (and counting). Our clients are some of the world’s biggest shippers, including Fortune 500 companies. We are also operating Sweden’s largest truck dedicated public charging network and counting.

Based in the Northeast, the Fleet Technician will be responsible for diagnosing, maintaining, and repairing our fleet of vehicles and equipment. You will ensure maximum uptime with a specific focus on heavy‑duty electric engines, hydraulics, and specialized machinery. This role requires the ability to work in varied environments, including the harsh winter conditions typical of the region.

Your key responsibilities will be:

• Preventative Maintenance (PM): Performing oil changes, fluid checks and safety inspections heavy‑duty vehicles.
• Diagnostics and Repair: Utilizing computer diagnostic tools to diagnose and repair electric vehicles, for example electrical systems, suspensions, and braking systems (ABS/air brakes).
• Mobile Service/Field Service: Traveling to sites for PM, diagnostic or repairs that are needed
• Record Keeping: Maintaining accurate service records, work orders, and inventory logs in our fleet management software system

We expect you to have:

• Generally 2+ years of experience in the repair of heavy‑duty vehicles (preferably electric vehicles).
• High school diploma or GED; completion of an accredited vocational or diesel technology program is highly preferred.
• Valid Driver’s License required; Class A or B Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) is often required, or must be obtained within a probationary period.
• Ability to lift up to 75–100 lbs., walk on uneven surfaces, climb into large vehicles, and work in awkward positions (e.g., under a vehicle on a creeper).

Working Environment: Automotive garage, service station, or site and all‑weather conditions.

This is a position based in Chicago, IL. The role demands travel to other states. You will be part of a truly diverse, high performing team with a common passion for sustainability and making things happen in an innovative way. We recommend that you submit your application as soon as possible since selection and interviews are held continually.
