You Know the Road. Now Take Your Driving Experience Further.

If you have experience driving for Uber, Lyft, delivery services, or other transportation companies, you already have valuable skills. Now you can put that experience to work in a different industry.

We're hiring Safety Drivers in Dallas, TX, to support the testing of autonomous vehicles on public roads. This is a permanent, full-time opportunity offering an established hourly pay rate, weekly pay, employee benefits, and scheduled shifts.

• Maintain awareness of traffic, pedestrians, cyclists, and changing road conditions.


• Take control and drive manually when necessary to maintain safety.


• Identify potential hazards and respond appropriately.


• Perform basic vehicle safety checks before and after testing.


• Document driving observations, report issues, and follow established safety procedures.


• Communicate with remote operators and engineering teams to support testing activities.

Why You'll Want to Consider This Opportunity

• $22–$25/hour based on qualifications.


• Permanent employment — not a temporary assignment or short-term contract.


• Weekly pay with an established hourly rate.


• Employee benefits included.


• Full-time schedule with 40 hours per week.


• Multiple shifts available to help you find a schedule that works for you.


• Training provided — no previous autonomous vehicle experience or engineering degree required.


• A chance to enter the autonomous vehicle industry and build experience in a growing technology sector.

What We're Looking For

We're interested in dependable drivers who take safety seriously, pay attention to detail, and are comfortable using technology.

Your background could include:

• Uber or Lyft driving.


• DoorDash, Amazon Flex, or other delivery services.


• Passenger transportation or shuttle driving.


• Commercial driving or fleet operations.


• Other professional driving experience.

Requirements

• Valid U.S. driver's license held for at least 3 years.


• Clean driving record, subject to verification.


• Strong situational awareness and sound judgment.


• Ability to follow detailed instructions and safety procedures.


• Comfort driving in traffic and using technology.


• Reliable, safety-conscious work habits.


• Authorization to work in the United States.

Ready to Put Your Driving Skills to Work in a New Way?
