Qualifications

• 2+ years in hardware/software testing, vehicle systems, or a technical field ops role.
• Direct hands-on experience with autonomous vehicles, ADAS systems, or automotive sensor technology.

Job description

Most people read about self-driving technology. You'd be the one making sure it actually works.

We're looking for a technically sharp, detail-driven specialist to join an autonomous vehicle testing program in Sunnyvale. This is a hands‑on role sitting at the intersection of vehicle readiness and engineering, you're the person who catches what could go wrong before it does, and whose field observations directly shape how the software improves.

If you have a background in AV or ADAS testing and you're the kind of person who genuinely wants to understand how the system works rather than just run through a checklist, this is a role worth a serious look.

Day to Day

• Set up and prepare AV and ADAS development vehicles ahead of each test session, confirming hardware and software readiness before any wheels turn
• Execute structured test plans and evaluate system performance across sensors, cameras, radar, and onboard software
• Identify, document, and elevate issues that could affect safety or data quality — clearly and quickly
• Partner with software engineers and operations teams to refine testing procedures as the program evolves
• Produce detailed, accurate reports on testing outcomes and technical findings
• Hold the line on safety standards across the full testing program, not just for yourself, but for the team

What We're Looking For

• 2+ years in hardware/software testing, vehicle systems, or a technical field ops role
• Direct hands‑on experience with autonomous vehicles, ADAS systems, or automotive sensor technology
• Comfortable troubleshooting across both hardware and software — you don't need to be an engineer, but you think like one when something isn't working
• Methodical and thorough in how you prepare systems and document what you find
• Collaborative by nature — this role touches engineering, operations, and safety daily

Helpful But Not Required

• Familiarity with Linux environments or software development workflows
• Experience with Jira, Confluence, Slack, or Google Workspace
• Genuine curiosity about how AV systems are architected and why they fail the way they do
• $40/hour, 30+ hours/week
• 401(k)
• FSA for healthcare expenses
• Employer-paid short- and long-term disability and life insurance

A Few Practical Notes

This is a fully on‑site role in Sunnyvale. Local candidates only. As testing operations scale, weekend shifts may extend into late evening (up to 10:30 PM), so flexibility on schedule is a plus.kills
