Why This Role Is Different

This is not a manual same day routine... Every vehicle that comes through your bay is being outfitted with the tech that lets it drive itself — sensors, wiring, onboard hardware .
And you're the one making sure it all works before it hits the road.

Some days you're routing and connecting wiring harnesses. Other days you're mounting hardware, powering up systems to test them, or catching an issue before it becomes a problem. You'll work off real diagrams and specs and we need your HUMAN TOUCH!
