About Carvana
At Carvana, we're changing the way people buy and sell cars. With an ambitious vision and a fundamentally different approach designed to be fun, fast, and fair, Carvana became the fastest-growing automotive retailer in history.

  • Supporting other teams within Vending Machine Services in troubleshooting and operating our electromechanical systems.
  • Other duties as assigned.

What you should have
  • Experience with PLC-based motion control systems like Beckhoff TwinCAT.
  • Knowledge of VFD motors and control equipment like SEW EuroDrive.
  • Familiarity with low voltage control circuits, sensors, detectors, limit switches, I/O systems
  • Understanding of fieldbus operation like CANbus, EtherCAT, & Profinet.
  • Competent troubleshooting of solutions across electrical, mechanical, and process control domains as an upper tier of our support structure.
  • Interest in creating HMIs that are not just functional but practical and useful.
  • Ability to work with plant engineers, external vendors, operators, and management to manage projects and assignments.
  • Knowledge of development using tools such as Python and javascript is an absolute plus.
  • The ability to wear many hats. There are many different systems at play and many new ones to be created.
  • Some travel will be required as our vending machines are located across the country.

What we'll offer in return
  • Full-Time Salary Position with a competitive salary.
  • Medical, Dental, and Vision benefits.
  • 401K with company match.
  • A multitude of perks including student loan payments, discounts on vehicles, benefits for your pets, and much more.
  • A great wellness program to keep you healthy and happy both physically and mentally.
  • Access to opportunities to expand your skillset and share your knowledge with others across the organization.
  • A company culture of promotions from within, with a start-up atmosphere allowing for varied and rapid career development.
  • A seat in one of the fastest-growing companies in the country.

Other requirements

About Carvana

Sourced by ZipRecruiter

At Carvana, we sell cars, but we're not salespeople. Since 2013, we've been making it our mission to change the way people buy cars. We saw a huge problem with how much it can suck to buy a car the traditional way, so we committed ourselves to tackling one of the largest, yet-to-be-disrupted markets in the world - the $1T per year U.S. car market (yes, that's $Trillion with a "T").
