Jobbeschreibung

Ever imagined saying, “I helped launch the future of transportation”?

We’re rewriting the rules of urban mobility. At Vay, customers tap a button and a car arrives - with no one inside - powered by our world-first Remote Driving technology on real public streets.

We’re live in Las Vegas and scaling fast, powered by a strategic investment of up to $410 million from Grab . Our mission is simple: replace private car ownership with a faster, cleaner, door-to-door mobility model. If you want to build something real, visible, and genuinely transformative, you’ll feel right at home here.

What’s happening at Vay

• First to roll out vehicles in both Europe and the USA on public roads without a human being inside & currently the 2nd largest commercial, driverless car fleet in the Western World.
• We've partnered with Kodiak to bring remote-driving technology to autonomous trucks in the US, showcasing our ability to integrate our system into heavy-duty commercial vehicles and expand the applications of our tech across the US.
• We’ve completed over 150,000 trips so far and are busy multiplying our Las Vegas fleet just to meet demand!
• ...And soon we’ll be expanding across the US & Europe

Why this role is awesome:

As a Senior Technician at Vay, you'll play a key role in bringing the future of mobility to life. You'll be hands-on with cutting‑edge Remote Driving technology, transforming vehicles into remotely operated systems and helping us scale our fleet in Las Vegas.

This isn't your typical technician role. You'll work across mechanical, electrical, and advanced vehicle systems, tackling technical challenges that don't always come with a manual. You'll collaborate closely with our engineering and operations teams, help guide fellow technicians, and directly influence how we build, test, and improve our technology.

If you love getting your hands dirty, solving complex problems, and seeing the results of your work out on the road, this is your opportunity.

What you'll be driving:

Build the future of mobility: Assemble, install, and integrate mechanical, electrical, communication, camera, and sensor systems into our remotely operated vehicles and Tele‑stations.

Test and troubleshoot: Perform system validation, diagnostics, and troubleshooting using multimeters, precision instruments, and computer‑based diagnostic tools.

Solve complex challenges: Identify and resolve mechanical, electrical, and software‑related issues, including those involving EV systems, embedded electronics, and Linux‑based platforms.

Support fleet expansion: Coordinate vehicle builds, track production progress, and ensure high‑quality systems are delivered on schedule.

Lead by example: Share technical expertise, mentor fellow technicians, and help maintain a collaborative, high‑performing workshop environment.

Drive continuous improvement: Identify opportunities to improve assembly processes, reduce inefficiencies, and introduce LEAN manufacturing practices.

Own quality and safety: Maintain accurate digital build and maintenance records while ensuring the highest standards of workshop safety, quality, and organization.

What are we looking for:

5+ years of hands‑on experience in automotive, EV, aerospace, or a similar technical maintenance or systems integration environment.

Strong mechanical and electrical troubleshooting skills, including wiring, soldering, and electronic system diagnostics.

Experience assembling, modifying, or integrating complex vehicle systems, ideally including prototype, experimental, or custom vehicle builds.
