We are seeking a professional, tech-savvy CDL Class A Driver to join our autonomous trucking division. In this role, you aren't just driving; you are overseeing the deployment of cutting-edge self-driving technology. You will be responsible for the safe operation of Class A commercial vehicles equipped with autonomous systems during long-haul missions.

This position requires 100% travel and a flexible mindset , as operations run 24/7/365 to mirror real-world freight demands. You will rotate through day and night shifts , ensuring our systems perform reliably in all lighting and traffic conditions.

Responsibilities:
  • System Supervision: Monitor autonomous driving systems (ADS) while the vehicle is in motion, prepared to take manual control instantly if the system encounters a "disengagement" scenario.
  • Safety Operations: Conduct thorough pre-trip and post-trip inspections, ensuring both the mechanical integrity of the truck and the cleanliness/calibration of sensors (Lidar, Radar, Cameras).
  • Data Logging: Provide detailed verbal and written feedback to engineering teams regarding system behavior, edge cases, and "comfort" maneuvers.
  • Logistics Management: Manage routes, fuel stops, and inspections via Electronic Logging Devices (ELD) in strict Steiner compliance with DOT/FMCSA regulations.
  • Dynamic Scheduling: Operate on a sliding schedule that includes overnight hauls, weekends, and holidays to ensure continuous data collection.

Safety & Defensive Driving
  • Active Monitoring: Maintain continuous situational awareness, acting as a redundant safety layer for the Autonomous Driving System (ADS) in complex environments like construction zones or heavy merging.
  • Proactive Intervention: Expertly identify edge cases (e.g., erratic behavior from other motorists, debris, or poor weather) and take manual control before the system reaches its operational limit.
  • Space Management: Ensure the vehicle maintains a safe "cushion" and follow-distance, overriding the system if necessary to adhere to the "150-foot minimum" rule for heavy-duty CMVs.
  • Shift Vigilance: Adhere to strict fatigue management protocols, ensuring high alertness during night shifts when biological rhythms are naturally lower.

DOT Regulations & Compliance
  • Regulatory Compliance: Maintain full compliance with FMCSA Part 395 and state-specific AV regulations (including recent updates like California's heavy-duty driverless testing permits).
  • Law Enforcement Interaction: Act as the primary point of contact for DOT roadside inspections and weigh station stops, explaining the autonomous system's status to officials if requested.
  • Incident Reporting: Assist in the mandatory documentation and reporting of any "disengagements" or system anomalies as required by federal and state oversight bodies

Pre-Trip & Post-Trip Inspections
  • Mechanical Verification: Conduct standard "Circle Checks" of tires (tread/pressure), brakes (lines/drums), lighting (high/low beams, signals), and coupling (fifth-wheel lock).
  • Sensor & Hardware Audit: Perform specialized inspections of the AV stack-ensuring Lidar, Radar, and Camera lenses are clean, unobstructed, and securely mounted.
  • Fluid & Leak Check: Use the CBD (Cracks, Bends, Dents) and ABC (Abrasions, Bulges, Cuts) methods to inspect engine hoses, steering components, and suspension.
  • In-Cab Systems: Test all onboard computer monitors, emergency override buttons, and two-way communication links to the remote operations center.

ELD & Logging Requirements
  • Digital Documentation: Utilize Electronic Logging Devices (ELD) to automatically and manually record Hours of Service (HOS), ensuring 100% accuracy in "On-Duty" vs. "Driving" status.
  • System Hand-Off Tracking: Log specific timestamps when control transitions from the Autonomous System to the Human Driver (and vice-versa) for engineering data audits.
  • RODS Management: Maintain Records of Duty Status (RODS) and ensure all supporting documentation (fuel receipts, tolls) is submitted within the 13-day federal window.
  • Inspection Readiness: Ensure the ELD is capable of seamless data transfer (USB or Bluetooth) to law enforcement during any roadside safety audit.

Key Requirements:
  • Licensing: Valid Class A Commercial Driver's License (CDL-A) with a clean Motor Vehicle Record (MVR).
  • Experience: Minimum of 1-3 years of over-the-road (OTR) experience operating Class A tractor-trailers.
  • Tech Literacy: Ability to use tablets, proprietary software, and diagnostic tools. You should be comfortable "troubleshooting" basic software prompts.
  • Adaptability: Willingness to be away from home 100% of the time (typical rotations are 3-4 weeks out, 1 week home).
  • Vigilance: Ability to maintain high levels of focus during long periods of autonomous operation where manual input is minimal.

Preferred Skills & Traits
  • Experience in safety-critical roles
  • Strong communication skills (you will be the "eyes and ears" for software engineers).
  • A "Safety First" mentality-prioritizing the public's well-being over meeting a delivery ETA.
