Vehicle Operations Specialist

Royalty Staffing is currently hiring Vehicle Operators for our client who is a rapidly growing company. As a Vehicle Operations Specialist (VOS) for on-road testing, you are the link between cutting-edge AI and the unpredictability of the open road.

This isn't simply a "driving job"—it's a technical role that requires the focus of a pilot and the analytical mind of a tester. You will operate vehicles with proprietary technology, providing real-time feedback to engineering teams to ensure the fleet is safe, efficient, and smarter every day.

Core Responsibilities

Your day-to-day involves more than just sitting behind the wheel. You are an agile sensor tester and a safety expert.

●  Systems Supervision: Monitor vehicle software systems while upholding safe operational protocols and full legal compliance.

●  Structured Testing: Execute specific test cases (e.g. navigating construction zones, roundabouts, heavy pedestrian traffic, etc.) and document system performance accordingly.

●  Data Logging & Reporting: Provide concise, high-quality verbal and written feedback on non-ideal vehicle behaviors and edge-case scenarios.

●  Fleet Health: Perform pre-and-post-trip vehicle inspections, ensuring sensors (LiDAR, Cameras, Radar) are clean and report major, operational concerns accordingly.

●  Collaboration: Work directly with Software and Hardware Engineers to troubleshoot issues identified during your shift(s).

Shifts:

Candidates will start on a 9am-5pm shift, but will later move to one of the following once the team is more established.

AM: 6:00am – 2:00pm

PM: 2:00pm – 10:00pm

High "situational awareness"—the ability to remain hyper-focused for long durations in a repetitive environment.
