𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗼𝗹𝗲

A San Francisco autonomous vehicle company is hiring engineering-focused Automotive Technicians to keep its self-driving fleet road-ready. If you're a strong tech who's tired of the flat-rate grind, chasing book time, eating comebacks, getting pushed to upsell, this is a different kind of shop. You're paid by the hour to do real work: diagnostics, electrical troubleshooting, and repairs. No customers, no service writers, no commission games. Just you, the vehicles, and an engineering team that actually wants your read on what's failing and why.

𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗼𝗻𝗲

• $46 to $50 per hour, hourly and guaranteed, no flat rate
• Weekly pay
• Full benefits: medical, dental, vision, plus 401(k)
• Multiple shifts (days, evenings, overnights) so you can pick what fits your life
• Hands-on experience on cutting-edge autonomous vehicles, the kind that's hard to get anywhere else

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂'𝗹𝗹 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗱𝗼

• Diagnose and repair across mechanical and electrical systems, the hard stuff, not basic service
• Run electrical diagnostics and troubleshooting, and escalate the truly gnarly ones to engineering
• Own a repair from first symptom to signed-off and road-ready
• Build diagnostic test plans and document what you find
• Keep your bay, tools, and parts dialed in
