  • Operationalize continuous improvement strategies into the design, operation, and maintenance of the autonomous vehicle based on field findings

  • Balance operational needs with engineering requirements to maintain impeccable safety record and high uptime

  • Work cross-functionally to develop tools for tracking, reporting, and diagnosing issues; automate where possible

  • Minimum 30% travel to other markets in Texas
