Driver, Autonomous Vehicle Data Collection (No Passengers or Deliveries) | San Francisco | $24-$30/hr + Benefits

. $-$/, , , , .

A fast-growing autonomous vehicle company is building its San Francisco data-collection team, and you'd be one of the first drivers in the door. You'll drive an instrumented company vehicle on set city routes while its sensors and cameras capture real-world driving data that trains and improves self-driving technology. You're driving the whole time. It is not driving itself. No passengers, no packages, no app pinging you every 30 seconds.

• Ground floor of a brand-new program at a well-funded robotics and AV company

• W2 employment through HireArt with full benefits from day one

• A company vehicle, so you stop putting miles on your own car

• Start of shift: quick vehicle inspection, start up the data-collection software

• On the road, up to 6 hours: drive set routes, follow every traffic law, flag anything unusual

You'll start on a daytime 9 AM to 5 PM schedule. As the team grows, you'll move to either an AM shift (6 AM to 2 PM) or a PM shift (2 PM to 10 PM). Full-time hours, no overtime.
