SteerAI’s advanced AI-powered autonomy stack, developed by the Technology Innovation Institute, empowers the logistics and defense industries by turning industrial vehicles into autonomous powerhouses that can handle complex off-road missions, transform operations and protect organizations' most important assets: their workforce.
About The Role
We are looking for a Autonomous Vehicle Operator to operate SteerAI’s unmanned ground vehicle platforms during operational trial campaigns.
This hands-on role involves operating vehicles through the Command and Control (C2) system and Fleet Management System (FMS), monitoring autonomous missions, supporting test execution, and performing field-level vehicle preparation
Key Responsibilities
- **Vehicle Operation:**
- Operate Avs and other robots through the OCU/C2/FMS interface and remote control during tests and trials.
- Monitor autonomous mission execution and intervene when required, following established safety protocols.
- **Pre-Mission Preparation:**
- Execute field deployment checklists, run system health checks, verify sensor functionality, and confirm communication links.
- Ensure vehicles are trial-ready prior to each mission run.
- **Real-Time Monitoring and Intervention:**
- Monitor vehicle telemetry, autonomy state, and environmental conditions during missions.
- Execute emergency procedures (e-stop, return-to-base) when safety thresholds are reached.
- **Data Collection and Instrumentation:**
- Position and configure telemetry equipment, manage onboard recording systems, and verify data integrity post-mission.
- Support the Field Test Engineer in executing instrumentation plans and validating that data capture meets trial requirements.
- **Maintenance and Troubleshooting:**
- Perform field maintenance, troubleshoot hardware and software issues, and escalate technical problems to the engineering team.
- Maintain vehicle readiness between trial runs.
- **Test Execution Support:**
- Assist the Field Test Engineer with scenario setup, adherence to test procedures, and documentation of mission observations.
- Be prepared to take on basic test coordination duties when required, including running pre-briefed scenarios and recording results against success criteria.
Qualifications
- Technical diploma or bachelor’s degree in Robotics, Mechatronics, Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, or related field.
- 4+ Experience operating unmanned ground or aerial vehicles, robotic systems, or remote-controlled platforms.
- Familiarity with autonomous vehicle systems, sensor suites (cameras, GNSS, lidar), and communication systems.
- Comfortable working in outdoor field environments in various weather conditions.
- Methodical approach to checklists, procedures, and safety protocols.
- Troubleshooting skills for electromechanical and software systems.
- Exposure to structured test procedures, checklists, or test and evaluation frameworks.
- Ability to document observations, log test results, and contribute to post-mission reporting.
- Valid driver’s license.
- What we offer
- We offer a competitive salary, a comprehensive benefits package, and the opportunity to work alongside some of the brightest minds in the Autonomous Robotics industry.
