We are seeking a professional, tech-savvy CDL Class A Driver to join our autonomous trucking division. In this role, you aren’t just driving; you are overseeing the deployment of cutting-edge self-driving technology. You will be responsible for the safe operation of Class A commercial vehicles equipped with autonomous systems during long-haul missions.

This position requires 100% travel and a flexible mindset, as operations run 24/7/365 to mirror real-world freight demands. You will rotate through day and night shifts, ensuring our systems perform reliably in all lighting and traffic conditions.

Responsibilities:

• System Supervision: Monitor autonomous driving systems (ADS) while the vehicle is in motion, prepared to take manual control instantly if the system encounters a "disengagement" scenario.

• Safety Operations: Conduct thorough pre-trip and post-trip inspections, ensuring both the mechanical integrity of the truck and the cleanliness/calibration of sensors (Lidar, Radar, Cameras).

• Data Logging: Provide detailed verbal and written feedback to engineering teams regarding system behavior, edge cases, and "comfort" maneuvers.

• Logistics Management: Manage routes, fuel stops, and inspections via Electronic Logging Devices (ELD) in strict Steiner compliance with DOT/FMCSA regulations.

• Dynamic Scheduling: Operate on a sliding schedule that includes overnight hauls, weekends, and holidays to ensure continuous data collection.

Safety & Defensive Driving

• Active Monitoring: Maintain continuous situational awareness, acting as a redundant safety layer for the Autonomous Driving System (ADS) in complex environments like construction zones or heavy merging.

• Proactive Intervention: Expertly identify edge cases (e.g., erratic behavior from other motorists, debris, or poor weather) and take manual control before the system reaches its operational limit.

• Space Management: Ensure the vehicle maintains a safe "cushion" and follow-distance, overriding the system if necessary to adhere to the "150-foot minimum" rule for heavy-duty CMVs.

• Shift Vigilance: Adhere to strict fatigue management protocols, ensuring high alertness during night shifts when biological rhythms are naturally lower.

DOT Regulations & Compliance

• Regulatory Compliance: Maintain full compliance with FMCSA Part 395 and state-specific AV regulations (including recent updates like California’s heavy-duty driverless testing permits).

• Law Enforcement Interaction: Act as the primary point of contact for DOT roadside inspections and weigh s
