The company

Azevtec (Autonomous, Zero-Emission Vehicle Technologies) is automating 'first-mile' trucking. We simplify how large enterprises ship goods—our robotic systems automate repetitive vehicle movement and manual tasks in the world’s busiest freight-shipping hubs to enhance operational performance, reduce costs, and improve safety.

Azevtec is a rapidly growing, Series-A company founded to drive the adoption of sustainable transportation and deploy autonomous vehicles responsibly.

The role

This is an opening for the night shift of our testing operations! Start time will be somewhere between 6-10 pm and end time will be somewhere between 2-6 am every day.

The Dispatch Engineer will report to the Director of Test Engineering and will be responsible for tasking the Autonomous Vehicle (AV), data collection and reporting, and interacting with all groups within engineering, as needed. This role will be responsible for communicating and assisting with the resolution of hardware, software, and operational issues.

A successful Dispatch Engineer executes the daily tasking of the autonomous vehicle system in a manner that supports test engineering operations and key performance indicators (KPIs) for the systems engineering and product development functions more broadly. This role will interact with operations, engineering, and product management as needed, in order to communicate and support testing needs. The Dispatch Engineer will be, at times, the first line of defense to troubleshoot system issues and work in conjunction with software developers as well as other remote engineers.  Additionally, the Dispatch Engineer will perform the supporting data collection and testing activities for engineering to implement improved system performance.

Candidates for this role must have a strong technical background and the ability to effectively communicate with the software and engineering teams when troubleshooting. Critical thinking and the ability to communicate effectively with customers are a must.
