About this role
Avride's Service Technician role supports the maintenance and field operations of an autonomous vehicle fleet in Austin. You'll handle everything from routine scheduled maintenance—brakes, fluids, tires, AC—to incident response, including damage assessment, minor repairs, and coordination with service centers. The work spans both shop-based tasks and field support, including vehicle evacuations and transporting cars for service appointments. This is a hands-on position where attention to detail and proactive monitoring directly affect fleet safety and uptime.
The role requires prior automotive technician experience with a solid grasp of vehicle systems and diagnostics. EV experience is highly preferred, and familiarity with ADAS vehicles is a plus, since you'll be working around advanced autonomous technology. You'll need a clean driving record, valid Texas driver's license, and the ability to manage shifting priorities independently while maintaining safety and quality standards. This is a full-time position staffed through an Employer of Record partner; you'll be integrated into Avride's day-to-day operations and culture but based onsite in Austin with no remote flexibility.
The position includes pre-tax commuter benefits, employer-subsidized healthcare, FSA, disability and life insurance, and a 401k package. This is an ongoing contract role suited to experienced technicians seeking hands-on work in the autonomous vehicle space.
