Operations Associate

Position: Operations Associate 4
Job#: 3036513

Job Description:

Develop, roll out, and enforce SOPs and SLAs for troubleshooting processes, escalation paths, ticket quality, and response times; ensure process adherence and escalate performance issues as needed.

Run operational rhythms such as daily stand‑ups and shift handoffs, updating the team on new developments, policy changes, and key metrics; ensure clear daily handoff reports for subsequent shifts and leadership.

Collaborate with cross‑functional engineering teams (e.g., AV Software, Hardware Systems, Embodied AI, Vehicle Integration, and other GM teams) to balance short‑term mitigations with long‑term design changes that improve fleet reliability.

Ensure the team is prepared for high‑severity failures by running drills, developing training, and aligning with partner teams on SLAs and response expectations; build and maintain training modules to upskill Troubleshooting Experts and AVTOs.

Fulfill data requests and debug events of interest, including querying logs, validating hypotheses, and testing new features or fixes prior to rollout to refine behavior and mitigate regressions.

Maintain adequate support coverage, including filling gaps in coverage as needed, occasionally responding to duty locations outside the primary facility, and supporting mitigation and containment plans for major events.

Promote a culture of continuous improvement, using metrics, incident reviews, and feedback from operations, technicians, and engineers to refine processes, tools, and training across troubleshooting operations.

What you must have:

5+ years of experience in automotive, robotics, autonomous vehicles, consumer electronics, aerospace, or a related industry with a focus on technical operations, reliability, or fleet support.

Experience with productivity and incident tools such as JIRA, Confluence, Microsoft Office, CRM platforms, and/or similar fleet and incident management tools.

Demonstrated people leadership experience, such as supervising teams, leading shifts, or providing direction to integration engineers, technicians, or contractors in a fast‑paced operational environment.

Excellent communication skills, including the ability to give and receive clear, prompt, and understandable verbal and written communication for large groups and varying audiences (e.g., AVTOs, technicians, engineers, and leadership).

Proven ability to stay calm, focused, and professional under pressure, including during incidents, escalations, and rapidly evolving situations.

Strong attention to detail and execution skills, with a track record of thorough documentation, follow‑through, and ownership from issue identification through resolution.

Enthusiasm for self‑driving technology and its potential impact on safety, accessibility, and the future of mobility.

Willingness to work nights, weekends, and a flexible schedule as needed to support ongoing operations, including occasional on‑site work at designated facilities.

Bonus Points!

Previous experience managing or leading troubleshooting, NOC, or incident‑response teams in automotive, robotics, AV, or technology industries.

Hands‑on experience with Pager Duty or similar on‑call/incident management tools for coordinating responses to high‑severity events.

Extensive experience using JIRA and related tools to manage incidents, track failure modes, and drive engineering work streams.

Experience with command line tools, SQL, Git Hub, and software integration tools (e.g., INCA) supporting debugging, analysis, and system integration.

Background in customer‑facing operations or technical support environments, with a strong customer‑service mindset.
