Full Job Posting
- Operate Class 8 autonomous and manual vehicles on closed course and public roads, to the full Vehicle Operator standard.
- Own in-seat execution of platform V&V and release testing including testing safety assurance limits, driver override response, supervised autonomy stability, and fault injection.
- Produce written evaluations precise enough for engineering to act on, separating baseline from novel behavior and stating whether it reproduces.
- Execute vehicle dynamics and characterization campaigns — tire evaluation, trailer stability, axle-weight verification — including offsite testing at partner proving grounds.
- Serve as the qualified evaluator for operator certification: administer Knowledge and Proficiency
- Checks and clear operators onto a platform.
- Author and maintain platform-specific operator documentation — start-up and shutdown sequences, known-behavior references, SOP input.
- Own the DOT and CVSA compliance read on new platforms.
- Train operators on new platforms and move platform knowledge between sites ahead of any handover.
- Escalate safety-relevant findings and stop testing when equipment or vehicle behavior warrants it. Document the basis for that call.
- 8+ years as a Vehicle Operator, commercial test driver, or in a technically equivalent Class 8 operations role, including 4 years on autonomous or ADAS-equipped vehicles.
- CDL Class A, current Medical Examiner's Certificate, and a clean driving record, background check, and drug screen.
- Strong technical aptitude with autonomy platforms.
- Demonstrated ability to characterize vehicle behavior precisely: consistent versus intermittent, reproducible versus one-off, with conditions and magnitude rather than impressions.
- Strong written communication skills, translating in-cab observation into reports operations, engineering and safety can act on without follow-up.
- Demonstrated familiarity with closed-course and proving-ground protocols, including edge-case and failure-mode testing.
- Solid understanding of FMCSA and DOT requirements for test and development vehicles — DVIR, Hours of Service, DOT annual inspection, CVSA out-of-service criteria, and 49 CFR Parts 393 and 396.
- Experience training, coaching, or certifying other commercial drivers is highly desirable.
