• Monitor vehicle behavior and system performance in real time, identifying, documenting, and reporting disengagements, edge cases, and anomalies.
• Collect, log, and annotate data from test drives to support autonomy and engineering teams.
• Assist in developing, testing, and maintaining vehicle software and internal tools, including logging pipelines, diagnostics dashboards, and fleet-monitoring/test-management tools.
• Triage and reproduce issues, collaborating with software and autonomy engineers for debugging and resolution.
• Support routine vehicle readiness tasks such as sensor checks, calibration, and basic diagnostics.
• Contribute to code reviews, documentation, and continuous improvement of daily field procedures.

Qualifications and Experience

• 0-1 year of experience, suitable for an engineering student.
• Ability to combine practical driving experience with software and systems work.

Benefits of the Internship

• Direct, hands-on experience driving and supporting autonomous vehicles.
• Mentorship from experienced engineers and exposure to the full autonomy stack.
• Opportunity to see software and process improvements implemented daily by the team.

Work Location
