  • Engage with stakeholders and represent Aurora professionally during testing and interactions.

Requirements

  • A mindset that views a system failure or a bug as a successful data point that makes the fleet safer
  • Keen attention to detail with the ability to spot subtle anomalies in telemetry that others might miss
  • Ability to prioritize and make strategic, best-path decisions proactively in high-pressure situations
  • Ability to remain unfazed by rapid pivots and thrive in environments where the plan evolves based on real-time data
  • Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, with the ability to provide clear, actionable feedback to cross functional stakeholders
  • Valid U.S. driver’s license with a 5-year driving history, a clean driving record, and the ability to pass drug and alcohol screenings

  • Proficiency in G-Suite and the ability to learn new, proprietary software applications rapidly
  • Interest in technology tools, apps, gaming, flight simulators, or command-line interfaces that require high spatial awareness and multi-tasking
  • Experience working in a team environment where team success is the priority (preferred but not explicitly mandatory)
