## Job description

This role is Monday-Friday, 10:00am-7:00pm.

## About Avride

Avride is a U.S.-based autonomous vehicle company headquartered in Austin, TX, with additional R&D hubs around the world. Our company develops and operates both autonomous cars and delivery robots that share technologies and continuously learn from one another—a unique approach that accelerates innovation across our entire platform. Since 2017, Avride has been advancing autonomous technology to create safe, reliable transportation and delivery solutions that meet today's needs while shaping the future of mobility.

## About the Team

You’ll join a high-performing Facilities team responsible for supporting Avride’s operations across two locations in North Austin. The team plays an important role in creating safe, efficient, and well-maintained environments for employees working across both corporate and highly technical operations.

One location is a modern, upscale office environment designed around collaboration and employee experience, including contemporary workspaces, a fully stocked lunchroom, and an onsite fitness facility.

Our second location is a dynamic garage and technical workspace where our autonomous vehicles and robots are retrofitted, maintained, and supported. The garage is home to AV technicians, vehicle operations teams, engineers, and other technical staff working hands-on with Avride’s autonomous technology. The facility also includes a state-of-the-art vehicle staging and parking area that houses a large fleet of autonomous vehicles supporting Avride’s testing and operations.

The Facilities team supports both environments, making this a varied, fast-paced role where no two days are exactly the same.

## About the Role

As a Facilities Technician, you’ll perform a wide range of maintenance and repair tasks while ensuring facilities, equipment, and systems remain safe, functional, and efficient. The ideal candidate is hands-on, detail-oriented, and comfortable working across multiple trades. You are a strong problem-solver who can manage tasks independently while collaborating with a broader team when needed.

The standard schedule for this position is Monday–Friday, 10:0am-7:00pm. Because the role supports active facilities and technical operations, some flexibility may occasionally be needed based on business or facility needs.

- Follow all safety protocols and OSHA regulations while performing work.
- Travel between Avride’s Austin locations as required.

## What You'll Need

- Experience performing general maintenance across multiple trades, including plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and carpentry.
- Strong understanding of building systems and basic blueprint interpretation.
- Ability to safely operate maintenance tools and equipment.
- Basic computer skills for logging maintenance activities and work orders.
- Understanding of safety protocols and OSHA regulations.
- Strong problem-solving, time management, and organizational skills.
- Excellent communication and teamwork abilities.

Physical Requirements

- Ability to lift and move heavy objects, tools, and equipment as needed.
- Comfortable working at heights, including on ladders, and in confined or awkward spaces.

## Benefits

- 401k package

Commitment: This is a full-time, ongoing contract position staffed through our trusted Employer of Record partner, who manages payroll, benefits, and local compliance on our behalf. You will work day-to-day with the Avride team and be fully integrated into our culture and operations. This job is onsite and available to candidates local to the Austin, Texas area.

- **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.
