About The Role
As a Vehicle Technician, you are the specialist eyes on our autonomous vehicle sensor stack and mechanical assembly. You will inspect, test, and validate the hardware components that make our vehicles see and think; Lidar, Radar, cameras, and compute units as well as the physical mounting systems, wiring harnesses, and mechanical assemblies that hold everything together and ensure every system meets operational and safety standards before deployment. This is a junior to mid-level hands-on technical role specializing in the inspection, testing, and quality assurance of AV self-driving system hardware and its mechanical integration. You will work closely with engineering staff and the AV Safety Manager to identify hardware defects, validate sensor performance, check mechanical integrity, document findings accurately, and support root cause analysis when issues arise. You are not a software engineer but you understand how hardware behaves, how to test it methodically, and how to flag when something is wrong. What You’ll Be Doing Hardware Inspection and Validation
- Conduct structured inspections of AV self-driving system hardware including Lidar, Radar, cameras, ultrasonic sensors, and compute units
- Verify correct installation, alignment, physical condition, and connectivity of all sensor hardware following defined inspection checklists and partner SOPs
- Perform functional hardware checks and sensor readiness validations as part of the pre-deployment clearance process
- Conduct post-repair hardware inspections to confirm defects have been correctly resolved before vehicle redeployment
- Assess impact of environmental conditions heat, dust, humidity on sensor hardware performance and flag anomalies Mechanical Inspection and Assembly Integrity
- Inspect all sensor mounting hardware brackets, fasteners, clamps, and vibration isolators for correct installation, torque, and physical condition
- Verify cable routing, strain relief, and connector seating across the full sensor wiring harness, flagging any chafe, pinch, or unseated connection
- Check enclosure seals, gaskets, and IP rated fittings to ensure ingress protection against dust and moisture critical in Dubai operating conditions
- Perform post-maintenance underbody and chassis-level inspections to confirm no mechanical disturbance from prior service activity
- Identify and upscale loose, corroded, or fatigued mechanical components before they cause sensor misalignment or vehicle downtime
- Maintain a structured mechanical inspection log alongside hardware QA records so both disciplines are traceable in the fleet maintenance system Testing and Characterization
- Execute defined hardware performance tests and bench characterization procedures to verify sensor output against acceptance criteria
- Support calibration procedures for Lidar, Radar, and camera systems in accordance with partner technical standards
- Operate onboard diagnostic tools and software interfaces to assess hardware health and data quality
- Document test results accurately using 4Cs standards (Condition, Cause, Correction, Confirmation) in the fleet maintenance management system. Defect Management and Escalation
- Identify, document, and expedite hardware defects and sensor anomalies through the defined non-conformance process
- Track open hardware issues including mechanical defects through to resolution; verify corrective actions before closing
- Identify recurring hardware failure patterns and surface structured findings to engineering staff and the AV Safety Manager
- Support post-incident technical reviews where hardware performance is a contributing factor Compliance and Safety
- Adhere strictly to
