The Fleet Reliability Engineer will help keep the operational fleet mission-ready by combining vehicle-level troubleshooting, reliability analysis, maintenance and readiness support, and disciplined follow-through on corrective actions.\nThis role is part of the AV Operations organization and works closely with Fleet Management, Service Operations, Troubleforce, Vehicle Integration, AV software and hardware teams, safety partners, and vehicle operators. The engineer will translate recurring fleet issues into clear technical investigations, practical mitigations, durable corrective actions, and measurable improvements in uptime, utilization, and operational readiness.\nThe successful candidate is comfortable moving between the vehicle, the maintenance/work-order system, operational dashboards, and cross-functional engineering discussions. They can work independently on significant problems within a defined area, exercise sound judgment in a fast-moving environment, and clearly communicate technical findings to both hands-on teams and engineering leadership.\nWhat you’ll do\nMonitor fleet health, availability, downtime, readiness, and recurring failure trends for AV test and data-collection vehicles, with primary support for operations at Milford Proving Ground and coordination with other fleet locations as needed.\nInvestigate vehicle and fleet issues spanning host-vehicle systems, autonomous-vehicle hardware, sensors, compute and instrumentation, connectivity, localization, calibration readiness, charging, and software-stack or system-health conditions.\nLead structured troubleshooting and root-cause investigations from initial issue identification through containment, corrective action, validation, documentation, and closure.\nPartner with Service Operations and technicians to prioritize work orders, remove technical blockers, improve repair quality, and reduce time to return vehicles to service.\nProvide timely technical support for operational escalations and fleet-downing events; help distinguish safe temporary mitigations from issues requiring engineering ownership or vehicle removal from service.\nAnalyze work-order, telemetry, incident, and operational data to identify reliability hotspots, Pareto trends, repeat failures, maintenance gaps, and opportunities to improve fleet utilization.\nDevelop and maintain reliability reports, issue summaries, failure-mode tracking, readiness views, and recommendations for operations and engineering leadership.\nEstablish clear problem statements, impact assessments, failure timelines, and evidence packages that enable partner engineering teams to diagnose and resolve issues efficiently.\nTranslate recurring operational issues into actionable engineering work, including defect reports, corrective-action plans, test requests, retrofit recommendations, parts needs, and follow-up validation.\nSupport fleet changes, hardware and firmware updates, retrofits, configuration changes, and vehicle-readiness activities through controlled, traceable, and auditable processes.\nParticipate in design reviews, vehicle build and integration feedback loops, release-readiness discussions, and operational change-control activities where fleet reliability or serviceability may be affected.\nCollaborate with AV Operations and AV Test Engineering to ensure vehicles, systems, tools, procedures, and support coverage are ready for closed-course, public-road, and data-collection activities.\nCreate and improve standard work, troubleshooting guides, escalation paths, maintenance practices, and handoff documentation that can be used consistently across shifts and locations.\nContribute to reliability metrics and operating mechanisms, including fleet uptime, vehicle availability, downtime by cause, return-to-service performance, repeat repairs, issue response time, and deployment readiness.\nShare lessons learned and coach technicians, operators, and partner engineers on recurring issues, safe work practices, diagnostic approaches, and reliability improvements.\nMaintain a strong Safety First mindset and stop, escalate, or contain work when vehicle condition, system behavior, facility conditions, or operational context creates unacceptable risk.\nSupport other AV Operations priorities and special projects as business needs evolve.\nRequired qualifications\nBachelor’s degree in mechanical, electrical, automotive, systems, industrial, computer engineering, or a related technical discipline.\nAt least 2 years of relevant experience in automotive, autonomous vehicles, robotics, aerospace, consumer electronics, industrial equipment, or a related technical operations environment.\nExperience troubleshooting complex electro-mechanical, software-enabled, or vehicle systems using a structured problem-solving approach.\nExperience performing root-cause analysis and developing corrective or preventive actions that improve reliability, quality, or operational performance.\nAbility to interpret technical information, work-order history, diagnostic data, logs, measurements, and operational metrics to form and test hypotheses.\nDemonstrated ability to manage multiple issues and priorities while maintaining ownership, documentation quality, and follow-through.\nStrong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to explain technical issues clearly to technicians, operators, engineers, and leadership.\nAbility to work effectively in a hands-on operational environment that may include vehicle yards, maintenance areas, test facilities, and changing priorities.\nAbility to work on-site at Milford Proving Ground and travel approximately 10% to support fleet operations, partner locations, or engineering activities.\nAbility to meet applicable GM, facility, safety, and vehicle-operation requirements for assigned work, including maintaining a valid driver’s license where required.\nPreferred qualifications\nExperience supporting autonomous vehicles, advanced driver-assistance systems, robotics fleets, or other safety-critical vehicle or mobile systems.\nWorking knowledge of SDV 2.0 concepts, software-defined vehicle architecture, vehicle compute, electronic control units, over-the-air updates, vehicle configuration, or software and hardware change management.\nExperience with host-vehicle systems, automotive diagnostics, vehicle networks, sensors, calibration, localization, compute, connectivity, or autonomous-driving system integration.\nExperience working with fleet-management, maintenance, incident-management, or reliability systems and dashboards.\nFamiliarity with issue-tracking and collaboration tools such as Jira, Confluence, Slack, Microsoft Office, or comparable platforms.\nExperience using work-order and fleet-health data to create Pareto analyses, trend reports, operational dashboards, or reliability scorecards.\nFamiliarity with reliability methods such as FMEA, fault-tree analysis, 8D, FRACAS, statistical process control, or similar structured approaches.\nExperience with SQL, Python, spreadsheets, command-line tools, telemetry analysis, or other methods for automating analysis and improving operational visibility.\nExperience supporting hardware retrofits, fleet campaigns, validation drives, closed-course testing, public-road testing, or return-to-service decisions.\nExperience working with external service providers, parts suppliers, repair facilities, or distributed operational teams.\nSuccess in this role\nWithin the first year, the Fleet Reliability Engineer will be expected to:\nBuild trusted working relationships with AV Operations, Fleet Management, Service Operations, Troubleforce, Vehicle Integration, and partner engineering teams.\nEstablish a repeatable approach for monitoring fleet health, prioritizing reliability issues, documenting investigations, and tracking corrective actions to closure.\nImprove visibility into the causes and duration of vehicle downtime and provide recommendations that help increase fleet uptime and usable vehicle hours.\nReduce repeat issues by converting operational learning into better diagnostics, maintenance practices, parts planning, standard work, and engineering fixes.\nHelp create a reliable feedback loop from vehicles and frontline operations into engineering decisions, release readiness, fleet changes, and future AV programs.\nGM behaviors\nOwn the outcome and follow issues through to durable resolution.\nSpeak fearlessly and constructively when fleet reliability, safety, quality, or timing is at risk.\nCommit to customers by understanding the needs of the operators, engineers, and programs that depend on the fleet.\nInnovate responsibly by improving tools, processes, and methods without compromising safety or traceability.\nCompensation: The compensation information is a good faith estimate only.
