Job description

HireArt is helping May Mobility hire Autonomous Vehicle Operators.

Autonomous Vehicle Operators (AVOs) are safety-critical, frontline operators responsible for monitoring and supporting the performance of autonomous vehicles during live passenger service and testing operations.

This role is not traditional driving. It is a blend of real-time oversight, safety intervention readiness, detailed event reporting, and rider-facing professionalism.

AVOs are expected to maintain constant situational awareness, respond calmly under ambiguity, and provide clear technical feedback that supports engineering and operational improvement.

This is a contracted role with required completion of online training and an in-vehicle certification program prior to full deployment.

Key Responsibilities

• Actively monitor autonomous vehicle behavior in real time to ensure safe operations in dynamic environments.
• Maintain readiness to disengage autonomy and assume manual control when conditions require.
• Demonstrate conservative, safety-first judgement during all vehicle operations.
• Identify unexpected AV behaviors and log events accurately and concisely to support engineering review and system improvement.
• Serve as a company representative for passengers and partners.
• Answer rider questions confidently and professionally.
• Ensure a safe and efficient rider experience from pickup to drop-off.
• Work assigned shifts that may include early mornings, late nights, or weekends.
• Maintain consistent attendance and readiness for safety-critical work environments.

Requirements

• Strong safety orientation and ability to remain vigilant during extended monitoring.
• Comfort working with technical systems, mobile devices, and digital reporting tools.
• Ability to communicate clearly, calmly, and concisely under pressure.
• High attention to detail and disciplined adherence to process.
• Coachability and ability to learn quickly through structured training and evaluation.

This is a full-time, ongoing contract position staffed via HireArt and based on-site in Grand Rapids, Minnesota. Hire is contingent upon a clear background check, MVR, and drug screen (including THC).
