- Disassemble and reassemble electronic units
- Remove and install units on vehicles and robots
- Route and install wiring on vehicles and robots
- Re-terminate and re-crimp cable assemblies and harnesses
- Repair PCB assemblies by reworking and replacing components, including fine-pitch work under a microscope, then run the follow-up tests in the procedure
- Assemble prototype hardware
- Build and modify test benches and fixtures
- Work through assigned task lists and plans, and write clear reports on what you found, what you did and the test results
- Keep repair and inventory records up to date in our tracking systems

## What you'll need

- Ability to read and understand electrical schematics and wiring diagrams

## About Avride

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Avride is a developer of autonomous vehicle and delivery robot technology, providing self-driving taxi and last-mile delivery services in partnership with Uber.
- **Entity Type**: Private (subsidiary of Nebius Group)
- **Headquarters**: Austin, Texas, United States (additional offices in Tel Aviv, Israel; Belgrade, Serbia; Seoul, South Korea)
- **Founded**: 2020 (as a spin-off from Yandex’s self-driving car group, which began development in 2017)
- **Founders**: Originated from Yandex’s autonomous driving team; individual founders are not named publicly.

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: Vehicular automation, autonomous mobility, and last-mile delivery robotics.
- **Target customers**: B2B (ride-hail platforms like Uber, automotive OEMs like Hyundai), B2C (riders using robotaxis via Uber app), and enterprise (restaurants and retailers using delivery robots through Uber Eats).
- **Mission**: To make roads safer and more sustainable by deploying autonomous technology that never tires, gets distracted, or breaks rules.

## Products & Services
- **Robotaxi Service**: Autonomous taxi fleet (based on retrofitted Hyundai Ioniq 5 vehicles) operating in a nine-square-mile area of downtown Dallas, bookable via the Uber app. As of April 2026, Avride has 200 robotaxis in service.
- **Delivery Robots**: Sidewalk robots that travel at 8 km/h (5 mph), equipped with lidars, cameras, and ultrasonic sensors. Currently delivering Uber Eats orders in Austin, Dallas, and Jersey City. Over 600,000 deliveries completed to date.
- **Autonomous Driver Platform**: A universal driving system (hardware and software) that can be adapted to different vehicle types, including passenger cars and delivery robots, leveraging shared technology for continuous improvement.
- **Proprietary Hardware**: Custom lidars, cameras, and computational hardware designed in-house to enhance performance and redundancy.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation / Market Cap**: Not disclosed (private company).
- **Key Metric**: Total funding of **$425M** across two rounds:
  - $50M convertible note (September 2020)
  - $375M venture round (October 2025) — 2 investors.
- **Notable Investors / Partners**: Nebius Group (parent company); strategic partners include **Uber** (robotaxi and delivery integration) and **Hyundai** (robotaxi development partnership).
- **Growth Signals**:
  - Headcount of **283 employees** (+75.4% year-over-year).
  - 13,541 LinkedIn followers (+80.3% annual growth).
  - Over 250,000 customers have used services powered by Avride technology.
  - Expanded from initial testing in Austin and Seoul to live commercial operations in Dallas, Jersey City, and South Korea.
  - NHTSA logged 37 accidents involving Avride vehicles (as of March 2026) and opened a safety probe in May 2026 — a sign of regulatory scrutiny that often accompanies scaling autonomous fleets.

## Competitive Advantages
- **Proven real‑world deployment**: Operating robotaxis and delivery robots in dense urban environments across the U.S. and South Korea.
- **Unified technology stack**: The same autonomous software and hardware power both cars and delivery robots, enabling cross‑learning and faster iteration.
- **Strong partnership ecosystem**: Exclusive tie‑ups with Uber (rideshare and delivery) and Hyundai (OEM collaboration) provide immediate go‑to‑market channels.
- **In‑house hardware**: Custom sensors and compute units reduce dependency on third‑party suppliers and optimize performance for specific platforms.
- **Safety‑first philosophy**: 360‑degree perception, redundant systems, and thousands of hours of simulation and real‑world testing.

## Strategic Focus
- **Scaling robotaxi operations**: Expanding the Dallas service area and launching in additional U.S. cities in 2026–2027.
- **Deepening OEM partnerships**: Collaborating with Hyundai on next‑generation robotaxis.
- **Broadening delivery robot coverage**: Entering new markets with Uber Eats, including potential international expansion.
- **Growing the engineering team**: Actively hiring for roles in software, hardware, simulation, and operations (14 open positions as of mid‑2026).

## Why Work Here
- **Cutting‑edge autonomy**: Solve some of the hardest problems in perception, planning, and real‑time control for both cars and robots.
- **Large, experienced team**: Over 200 engineers, many from Yandex’s pioneering autonomous driving group, with deep domain knowledge.
- **Fast‑paced, high‑impact environment**: Work on technology used by hundreds of thousands of real customers.
- **Global presence**: Offices in Austin (HQ), Tel Aviv, Belgrade, and Seoul offer opportunities for international collaboration.
- **Culture of ownership**: Flat structure with small cross‑functional teams; engineers own features end‑to‑end.
- **Work policy**: Not explicitly stated, but roles span on‑site (operations), hybrid, and remote‑friendly positions depending on function.
