Fleet Specialist - Night Shift

Job description

The Fleet Specialist is Waabi’s right-seat software operator: the person who makes the autonomous system ready to run, watches how it behaves in the real world, and turns what happens on the road into information our engineers can act on. On night shift that work carries more weight, because you are often the first technical set of eyes on a problem. This role suits someone genuinely curious about how the system works, who works a problem thoroughly before escalating and knows when escalating is the right call, and who documents well enough that day shift and the development teams can pick up exactly where the night left off.

Job responsibilities

  • Prepare vehicle systems for manual and autonomous missions: verify the AV release, map name and version, and vehicle compute and controller firmware, update and launch the mission container configuration, and confirm…
  • Send, launch, hold, and end missions in the Waabi App, Jira, and the Linux terminal, and confirm mission data has been offloaded before closing out a mission.
  • Monitor vehicle and autonomy system status from the front right seat, including Foxglove visualizations, and relay system state and upcoming vehicle intent to the Vehicle Operator.
  • Call for a disengagement whenever system information cannot be relayed quickly enough to keep the maneuver safe. Every crew member is empowered to make that call.
  • Annotate on-road events with specific, descriptive context and categorize disengagements under Waabi’s Safety Risk, Stranding Risk, and Reputational Risk framework.
  • Track and report mission performance including takeovers, dropouts, troubleshooting, and delays, maintaining the standard mission thread format.
  • Complete AV stack pre-trip and post-trip documentation with close-up sensor and hardware photography, and escalate hardware conditions that were not resolved on the prior shift.
  • Manage data drives: check out the required number for the mission profile plus contingency, verify each drive connects, and confirm logs are offloaded.
