Part-Time Autonomous Vehicle Operator

Position: Part-Time Autonomous Vehicle Operator - $500 Sign-on bonus

Job description

Hire Art is helping May Mobility hire Autonomous Vehicle Operators.

Autonomous Vehicle Operators (AVOs) are safety-critical, frontline operators responsible for monitoring and supporting the performance of autonomous vehicles during live passenger service and testing operations.

This role is not traditional driving. It is a blend of real-time oversight, safety intervention readiness, detailed event reporting, and rider-facing professionalism.

AVOs are expected to maintain constant situational awareness, respond calmly under ambiguity, and provide clear technical feedback that supports engineering and operational improvement.

This is a contracted role with required completion of online training and an in-vehicle certification program prior to full deployment.

Key Responsibilities:

Actively monitor autonomous vehicle behavior in real time to ensure safe operations in dynamic environments.

Maintain readiness to disengage autonomy and assume manual control when conditions require.

Demonstrate conservative, safety-first judgement during all vehicle operations.

Identify unexpected AV behaviors and log events accurately and concisely to support engineering review and system improvement.

Serve as a company representative for passengers and partners.

Answer rider questions confidently and professionally.

Ensure a safe and efficient rider experience from pickup to drop-off.

Work assigned shifts that may include early mornings, late nights, or weekends.

Maintain consistent attendance and readiness for safety-critical work environments.

Requirements

Strong safety orientation and ability to remain vigilant during extended monitoring

Comfort working with technical systems, mobile devices, and digital reporting tools

Ability to communicate clearly, calmly, and concisely under pressure

High attention to detail and disciplined adherence to process

Coachability and ability to learn quickly through structured training and evaluation

Commitment: This is a part-time, ongoing contract position staffed via Hire Art and based on-site in Grand Rapids, Minnesota.

Note:

hire is contingent upon a clear background check, MVR, and drug screen (including THC).

Hire Art values diversity and is an Equal Opportunity Employer. We are interested in every qualified candidate who is eligible to work in the United States. Unfortunately, we are not able to sponsor visas.
