## About this role.

Gatik, the leader in autonomous middle-mile logistics, is revolutionizing the B2B supply chain with its autonomous transportation-as-a-service (ATaaS) solution and prioritizing safe, consistent deliveries while streamlining freight movement by reducing congestion. The company focuses on short-haul, B2B logistics for Fortune 500 retailers and in 2021 launched the world’s first fully driverless commercial transportation service with Walmart. Gatik’s Class 3-7 autonomous trucks are commercially deployed across major markets, including Texas, Arkansas, and Ontario, Canada, driving innovation in freight transportation.

The company’s proprietary Level 4 autonomous technology, Gatik Carrier™, is custom-built to transport freight safely and efficiently between pick-up and drop-off locations on the middle mile. With robust capabilities in both highway and urban environments, Gatik Carrier™ serves as an all-encompassing solution that integrates advanced software and hardware powering the fleet, facilitating effortless integration into customers’ logistics operations.

About the Role

In this role, you will oversee market technical execution, manage autonomous system upfits and end-of-line improvement initiatives, and validate standard work instructions for vehicle retrofits. Reporting to the Director, Fleet and Maintenance Strategy, you will partner closely with local fleet managers and Techops teams across Hardware, Software, and Autonomous Vehicle Integration to rapidly resolve complex technical issues. You will be instrumental in maintaining rigorous safety and quality standards while driving fleet reliability across field operations.

This role is remote, but travel is necessary to our sites throughout North America.

* Engineering Liaison & Support Architecture: Establish a field liaison program and tiered escalation framework to bridge communication between frontline technicians and central TechOps, driving rapid root-cause analysis and actionable feedback to engineering.
* Fleet Maintenance & Optimization: Partner with engineering to diagnose underperforming fleet assets and implement targeted maintenance strategies to maximize uptime, lower MTTR, and resolve recurring issues.
* Autonomous Upfits & System Validation: Oversee physical upfits and End of Line (EOL) verification for compute, sensor, and hardware suites to ensure vehicles are fully operational before deployment.
* Campaign Execution & Standard Work Documentation: Execute field vehicle campaigns and retrofits, establish clear standard work instructions, and train new maintenance vendors on operational standards.
* Quality, Safety & Regulatory Compliance: Enforce safety protocols, PPE usage, and workspace cleanliness while ensuring full compliance with DOT and FMCSA regulatory standards.

What We’re Looking For

* Experience: 5+ years of hands-on experience in technical field service, commercial fleet maintenance, or automotive/hardware technical operations, with at least 2+ years in direct people management.
* Team Leadership: Proven track record of hiring, mentoring, and managing technical teams of technicians or diagnostic mechanics.
* Technical Escalations & Cross-Functional Work: Demonstrated ability to manage complex technical escalations and collaborate effectively with hardware and software engineering teams.
* Upfit & Campaign Experience: Hands-on experience with vehicle upfits, sensor/hardware integration, end-of-line verification, and technical campaign/retrofit execution.
* Technical Documentation: Ability to author clear standard operating procedures (SOPs), work instructions, and step-by-step technical documentation.
* Diagnostic Expertise: Deep familiarity with vehicle diagnostics, electrical systems, CAN bus/telematics, and troubleshooting tools.

More about Gatik

Founded in 2017 by experts in autonomous vehicle technology, Gatik has rapidly expanded its presence to Mountain View, Dallas-Fort Worth, Arkansas, and Toronto. As the first and only company to achieve fully driverless middle-mile commercial deliveries, Gatik holds a unique and defensible position in the AV industry, with a clear trajectory toward sustainable growth and profitability.

We have delivered complete, proprietary AV technology – an integration of software and hardware – to enable earlier successes for our clients in constrained Level 4 autonomy. By choosing the middle mile – with defined point-to-point delivery, we have simplified some of the more complex AV challenges, enabling us to achieve full autonomy ahead of competitors. Given extensive knowledge of Gatik’s well-defined, fixed route ODDs and hybrid architecture, we are able to hyper-optimize our models with exponentially less data, establish gate-keeping mechanisms to maintain explainability, and ensure continued safety of the system for unmanned operations.

Sample interview questionsHow have you improved fleet availability and reduced mean time to repair for a technical vehicle fleet?I would begin by segmenting downtime by failure mode, vehicle configuration, location, and repair stage. I would establish an escalation path for recurring faults, use root-cause reviews with engineering, and track corrective actions through measurable uptime and MTTR targets. I would also standardize diagnostic workflows and ensure technicians have the tools, parts, and training needed to resolve common issues quickly.

Describe your approach to leading and developing a distributed team of field service technicians.

I set clear safety, quality, and availability expectations, then support technicians through regular one-on-ones, skills matrices, field observations, and targeted development plans. I use documented standard work to create consistency while giving experienced technicians ownership of troubleshooting and improvement ideas. Recognition, transparent performance feedback, and a strong escalation culture are essential for retaining a high-performing team.

How would you handle a recurring technical issue involving vehicle hardware, software, and field operations?

I would create a cross-functional incident structure with a clearly defined problem statement, affected configurations, severity, owner, and timeline. Field evidence such as diagnostic logs, photos, repair history, and reproduction steps would be consolidated so engineering can identify root cause efficiently. After a corrective action is validated, I would update work instructions, train technicians, and monitor recurrence metrics to confirm the fix is effective.

What controls would you use to ensure quality during vehicle upfits and end-of-line verification?

I would implement detailed build instructions, configuration control, technician signoffs, inspection checkpoints, and objective functional tests for compute, sensors, wiring, and communications. Any nonconformance would be documented, contained, and escalated before release. I would audit completed work regularly and use failure trends to strengthen both supplier and internal processes.

How do you balance urgent operational demands with DOT, FMCSA, and workplace safety requirements?

Safety and regulatory compliance are non-negotiable release criteria, even when uptime pressure is high. I would make requirements visible in daily operating routines through PPE expectations, pre-task assessments, documented inspections, and stop-work authority. When urgent repairs arise, I would prioritize resources and communication to restore service quickly without bypassing required controls.
