About this role
Avride's autonomous vehicle fleet needs overnight support to keep its cars and delivery robots in top operational condition. As a Fleet Maintenance & Detailing Associate, you'd handle the full spectrum of vehicle readiness—washing and detailing both interior and exterior, managing charging cycles, and running basic mechanical checks on tire pressure, lights, fluids, and wipers. You'd also perform light hands-on maintenance like replacing bulbs or wiper blades, report any safety concerns to the operations team, and maintain detailed logs of all work completed. The role runs Monday through Friday, 3 PM to 11 PM, with work split between the lot and garage environments.
This position suits someone with a detail-oriented mindset and prior experience in automotive cleaning, detailing, or light mechanical work. You'll need a valid driver's license with a clean record, the ability to lift up to 50 pounds regularly, and comfort working overnight shifts in outdoor or garage settings. Dependability and the ability to spot potential issues proactively matter as much as technical skill here—you're the last checkpoint before vehicles head out for daily operations.
Avride offers standard benefits including employer-subsidized healthcare, a 401k package, disability and life insurance, and pre-tax commuter benefits. This is a full-time ongoing contract position managed through an Employer of Record partner. The role is onsite in Austin only; relocation assistance and remote work are not available.
