Join our team as a Software Operations Specialist for a 12-month term. In this hands-on role, you will focus on quality control, tool testing, and workflow improvement in robotics and autonomy development. Your work will directly impact the reliability of self-driving vehicles. You will review software outputs, test internal tools, reproduce issues, and document findings. Precision and consistency are key, and you will have the support of your Operations Lead. This is a great opportunity to build deep familiarity with AI systems and contribute to the future of transportation.
Responsibilities
- Review annotated datasets and labeling outputs for quality and consistency across robotics and autonomy workflows.
- Test internal tools across standard workflows and exception scenarios as directed by the Operations Lead, reproduce reported bugs reliably.
- Flag recurring defects, systemic issues, or documentation gaps when you notice patterns across multiple items.
- You are the kind of person who notices things others miss, taking the time to document them clearly rather than move on. You find satisfaction in applied consistency: applying a rubric the same way on item 1 and item 200, and catching the edge case that slipped by. You want your work to connect to something larger, and you're ready to build deep expertise in a domain that's shaping the future of how people move
- High attention to detail: you catch what others miss and document it in a way that someone else can immediately act on
Requirements
- 1–3 years of experience in QA, software testing, operations, content review, or a closely related field
- Clear, specific written communication: defect notes that describe exactly what failed, how to reproduce it, and what the impact is
- Comfort learning new tools and working across technical systems without needing everything explained upfront
- Demonstrated ability to apply evaluation criteria consistently across high volumes of work without losing precision
- Reliable and self-directed: you meet cadences and deadlines consistently without needing to be chased
- Familiarity with U.S. roadways and driving behavior
- Experience reviewing outputs across multiple modalities such as text, image, sensor data, or video
- Bachelor's degree
Preferred
- Experience with mapping, 3D tools, or visual software
- Exposure to robotics, autonomy, or ML training data production environments
