• Take care of your assigned state-of-the art vehicle by keeping it clean, performing daily safety checks (e.g., monitoring fluid levels, checking tire pressure and hose connections), and notifying the team for repair as needed.
• Complete route testing by collaborating with software/hardware engineers and operations team members regarding collection/drop-off processes and procedures.
• Provide vehicle performance feedback to the operations and engineering teams.
