Our Texas road operations run both R&D testing and revenue freight out of our Lancaster terminal, and we are standing up a night shift to meet our commercial customers where they are.\nThe 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.\nYou will…\nPrepare 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 trailer weight and load ID.\nSend, 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.\nMonitor 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.\nCall 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.\nAnnotate on-road events with specific, descriptive context and categorize disengagements under Waabi’s Safety Risk, Stranding Risk, and Reputational Risk framework.\nTrack and report mission performance including takeovers, dropouts, troubleshooting, and delays, maintaining the standard mission thread format.\nComplete 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.\nManage data drives: check out the required number for the mission profile plus contingency, verify each drive connects, and confirm logs are offloaded.\nExecute periodic calibration and static validation collects to procedure and document them to the standard template.\nCheck conditions against the Operational Design Domain and verify with Dispatch before engaging or re-engaging near a policy limit.\nServe as spotter for backing maneuvers, apply Get Out And Look (G.O.A.L.), and work in parallel with the Vehicle Operator on inspection and hook-up so the crew makes gate time.\nThe role requires the ability to move around, under, alongside, and climb on a Class 8 tractor and trailer on scaffolding, stairs, and/or ladder to inspect and photograph sensors and hardware, and to handle data drives and cabling.\nPost accurate, timely shift status in Slack, maintain 5-S standards in the bays and garage, and brief Vehicle Operators on software and truck behavior changes before each mission.\nQualifications:\nHigh school diploma or equivalent required.\nPrior experience in a related operations, logistics, technical support, or vehicle testing role preferred.\nTechnical aptitude is central to this role. Comfort working at a command line - container logs, device resets, fault handling - and an interest in understanding the compute and sensor systems on the truck.\nStrong written communication and a high standard for documentation. Much of this role is judged on the quality of the record you leave behind.\nStrong attention to detail and the ability to follow a procedure exactly under time pressure.\nAbility to work in a fast-paced, frequently changing environment where priorities and schedules move.\nAble and willing to work overnight, late night, weekend, and holiday shifts, including extended, potentially consecutive shifts of up to approximately 14 hours (following DOT regulations), and overnight travel.\nAbility to travel to support out-of-area missions, scouting, and testing.\nBasic computer skills and the ability to learn Waabi’s mission, fleet, and inspection tooling quickly.\nPassionate about self-driving technology, solving hard problems, and creating innovative solutions.\nPrevious autonomous vehicle, robotics, or vehicle testing experience, experience troubleshooting computer, network, or embedded systems, and prior night shift or 24/7 operations experience are all a strong plus.\nEnhanced Pre-trip Inspector (EIP) certification, or interest in becoming certified, is a plus.\nNight Shift Schedule and Flexibility:\nBase shift: 11:00 PM - 7:30 AM CT, based at Waabi’s Lancaster, TX terminal.\nStart and end times may shift. The shift may begin and end a few hours later and, less commonly, a few hours earlier, based on commercial and customer demand and when loads need to move. Night shift crews are expected to be as flexible as day shift crews.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5019,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"high_school","optional":true},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Autonomous Driving"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-05T15:53:18Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"H-1B filings in 12 months: 9","filings_12m":9,"filings_prev_12m":0,"green_card_filings_12m":0,"median_offered_wage_usd":172500,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-15T11:24:14+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)"],"filings_for_role_12m":0}],"liveness":{"score":73,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.817,"p_room":0.9,"age_days":57,"expected_fill_days":143,"reasons":["conf:1","velocity","win:mid"],"computed_at":"2026-10-21T05:46:15Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/waabi-fleet-specialist-night-shift","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/waabi-fleet-specialist-night-shift.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-21T20:10:29Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":28748,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-22T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":4483},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=4483"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fwaabi-fleet-specialist-night-shift"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fwaabi-fleet-specialist-night-shift"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fwaabi-fleet-specialist-night-shift"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/waabi-fleet-specialist-night-shift\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fwaabi-fleet-specialist-night-shift"}]}
