Our Texas road operations run both R&D testing and revenue freight out of our Lancaster terminal, and day shift is the core of that operation.\nThe Shift Supervisor manages the people and truck side of daily operations, shift by shift. You are the on-the-ground supervisor who makes sure our trucks are compliant, our crews meet the standard that autonomous vehicle operations demand, and every mission leaves and lands safely. On day shift you run the highest mission volume and the tightest customer timing we operate, with the full operations and engineering team around you. You will coach in real time, hold the safety and compliance line, manage crew fatigue across extended days, and hand off a clean, complete picture at the end of shift. This role carries direct reports.\nYou will…\nManage end-to-end shift operations for Vehicle Operators and Fleet Specialists, partnering with Dispatch to assign work, execute testing missions, complete commercial runs, and meet Waabi and customer KPIs.\nLead, coach, and develop a team of Vehicle Operators, including performance, development, scheduling and time off requests, and corrective action.\nUphold Waabi safety and compliance standards in the terminal and in the field, and enforce accuracy on tractor and trailer pre-trip inspections, post-trip Driver Vehicle Inspection Reports, and Enhanced Inspection Program requirements.\nEvaluate crew performance through direct observation, remote monitoring, ride-alongs, and safety event review, and deliver real-time coaching and corrective action.\nActively manage crew fatigue - enforce rest and meal periods, adjust assignments when someone is not fit for duty, and escalate patterns before they become incidents.\nOwn personnel-to-vehicle assignments in partnership with Dispatch and the Vehicle Operations and Test Operations Leads, accounting for platform qualification, certification tier, and Hours of Service.\nOwn the shift-to-shift handoff so open issues, truck status, and unfinished work carry forward cleanly.\nServe as the on-site escalation point for in-field and terminal issues, initiate incident response, and escalate Priority and Critical events alongside Dispatch.\nRun daily compliance and terminal checks across fleet management tools, ELD logs, dispatch status, 5-S audits, attendance, and timekeeping, and coordinate with Fleet Readiness to triage mechanical and technical issues and minimize downtime.\nRepresent Waabi professionally with customer facilities, carrier partners, and site contacts.\nMaintain and improve Waabi’s culture of excellence in safety, and speak up immediately when something is not right.\nQualifications:\n2+ years of experience in fleet operations, logistics, or transportation management.\nProven leadership experience (e.g., supervisor, team lead, or lead driver) specifically managing CDL operators or shift-based teams.\nActive Class A CDL strongly preferred. Understanding the technical and physical demands of Class 8 operation is critical to managing this workforce.\nDeep knowledge of transportation regulations (DOT, FMCSA), particularly Hours of Service and compliance requirements for commercial operators.\nExperience working in a technical or testing environment; prior autonomous vehicle experience is a strong plus.\nProficiency with fleet management software, scheduling tools, and telematics platforms.\nStrong written communication. Your shift record and handoff are what day shift and leadership rely on.\nSound judgment under ambiguity and a bias for action, with the ability to make defensible decisions in the moment.\nAble and willing to work the day shift described below, including flexible start and end times, extended shifts of up to approximately 14 hours, weekends, and holidays, and to travel to remote sites and roadside locations as needed.\nPrior experience supervising a shift-based or 24/7 operation is a strong plus.\nEnhanced Inspection Protocol (EIP) certification or CVSA inspection training, and experience conducting formal safety observations, audits, or incident investigations, are a plus.\nPassion for self-driving technology, solving hard problems, and building a culture of safety and operational excellence.\nDay Shift Schedule and Flexibility:\nBase shift: 7:00 AM - 5:00 PM CT, based at Waabi’s Lancaster, TX terminal.\nStart and end times may shift. The shift may begin earlier or end later based on commercial and customer demand and when loads need to move. Day shift crews are expected to be flexible.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4572,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":2,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"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":61,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.844,"p_room":0.72,"age_days":56,"expected_fill_days":143,"reasons":["conf:1","velocity","win:mid","crowd:junior"],"computed_at":"2026-10-21T05:46:15Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/waabi-shift-supervisor-day-shift","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/waabi-shift-supervisor-day-shift.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-21T14:23:43Z","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":20513,"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-shift-supervisor-day-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-shift-supervisor-day-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-shift-supervisor-day-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-shift-supervisor-day-shift\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fwaabi-shift-supervisor-day-shift"}]}
