Automotive Technician (Autonomous EV Fleet) — Austin, TX

Pay: $24–$28/hr | Schedule: Variable (consistent shift assignment) | Work Environment: In-person | Type: Full-time

Ready to put your wrench skills to work on the future of mobility?

We’re helping our client hire Skilled Automotive Technicians to support a rapidly growing fleet of autonomous electric vehicles in Austin. This is a hands-on, high-impact role where your work keeps advanced EVs safe, reliable, and road-ready every single day.

If you’re a technician who takes pride in quality work, thrives in a fast-paced environment, and enjoys solving mechanical challenges—this is your chance to join a team at the cutting edge of transportation technology.

What You’ll Do

As an Automotive Technician, you’ll play a key role in maintaining fleet performance through routine service, light repairs, and field support.

You’ll be responsible for:

  • Assessing and documenting vehicle damage after road incidents

  • Performing minor on-site repairs and coordinating major repairs with partner service centers

  • Completing scheduled maintenance and inspections (brakes, fluids, AC, tires, etc.)

  • Monitoring vehicle condition and spotting issues before they become problems

  • Supporting field operations with vehicle evacuations and towing coordination

  • Transporting vehicles to service appointments, repairs, and washes to keep the fleet running smoothly

  • Maintaining shop and fleet cleanliness, readiness, and safety compliance

  • 2nd Shift: Monday–Friday | 2:00 PM – 10:00 PM

  • Weekends: Saturday–Sunday | 10:00 AM – 10:00 PM

What We’re Looking For

You don’t need to know everything about autonomous vehicles on day one—but you do need strong mechanical fundamentals, a safety-first mindset, and the ability to stay calm when priorities shift.

Required:

  • Prior experience as an automotive technician or similar mechanical role

  • Strong understanding of vehicle systems, diagnostics, and EV fundamentals

  • Valid Texas driver’s license + clean driving record

  • Ability to work independently and manage changing priorities

  • Detail-oriented with a commitment to safety and quality

  • Comfortable working around advanced vehicle technology

  • Prior experience as an EV Technician

  • Experience working with ADAS-equipped vehicles

Why You’ll Want This Role

  • Work on a high-tech autonomous EV fleet in one of the fastest-growing industries

  • Join a collaborative, fast-moving team that values precision and accountability

  • Be part of a critical operation—your work directly impacts fleet safety and performance

  • Full-time opportunity with steady shift assignment and competitive hourly pay
