We are looking for an Overnight Fleet Readiness Technician to join our Atlanta-based operations at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. This is an on-site, overnight role with hours from Monday through Friday, 10:00 PM to 6:00 AM. You will be responsible for ensuring every vehicle in our autonomous fleet is well maintained and operationally ready before the first shift arrives — and that important data is fully audited, offloaded, and accounted for in the cloud.

You'll conduct daily readiness checks, manage the end-to-end dashcam data retention lifecycle, and coordinate fleet status across teams to support safety and performance.

  • Run audit and identify gaps in time or missing files

  • Perform SD card formatting per protocol to ensure offloader compatibility

  • Manage physical offloaders to ensure efficiency and successful nightly offloads

  • Manage physical labelling, organization, and inventory of SD card kits and offloader hardware

  Fleet Logistics & Cross-Team Coordination

  • Document all overnight work in shift reports, including units serviced, defects identified, parts needed, and footage offload status

  • Report hardware failures, downed units, missing cards, or safety concerns via designated channels

  • Conduct shift handoff with the incoming Supervisor and operator team, communicating fleet status and any units pulled from service

  • Contribute to and refine best practices documentation for SD card handling and dashcam processes

  • Maintain a clean, organized work area and follow all PPE and ramp safety protocols
