We are helping our client find a Manufacturing Technician - EOL to support vehicle-level testing and validation of autonomous vehicles as they progress through final manufacturing and deployment readiness.

In this role, you’ll execute comprehensive End-of-Line testing, troubleshoot complex vehicle issues, and collaborate closely with engineering and manufacturing teams to ensure vehicles meet quality, safety, and performance standards before release.

The ideal candidate is detail-oriented, technically curious, and comfortable working hands-on with autonomous vehicle systems in a fast-paced manufacturing environment.

As a Manufacturing Technician - EOL, you'll:

• Perform comprehensive end-of-line (EOL) vehicle-level functional testing, including spending ~50% of time driving vehicles under autonomous control to support validation.
• Troubleshoot mechanical, electrical, software, and firmware issues; generate mission logs and Zero Problem Tickets (ZPTs), escalate blockers, and follow through on resolution.
• Execute vehicle bring-up procedures, including required software/firmware updates, and support early testing on new vehicle platforms (e.g., L3, VH6) where processes may be undefined.
• Collaborate closely with engineers and technicians to validate fixes, develop manufacturing AST work instructions, and improve testing processes.
• Communicate clearly in Slack and cross-functional forums, providing timely updates, summaries, and feedback on testing status and issues.
• Support vehicle movement, transportation logistics, and general shop operations while maintaining a clean, organized workspace in compliance with EHS standards.
• Identify and propose improvements to quality, efficiency, and safety; demonstrate flexibility through cross-training and support of evolving processes.
