Job description

Who we are
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
As an Autonomous Vehicle Operator, you will safely operate Gatik vehicles for on-time in-route customer deliveries. We are looking for a highly motivated self-starter to help us operate our box trucks running routes to transport dry and refrigerated cargo. You'll be a valuable contributor by collecting necessary data for our engineering teams aimed at improving our groundbreaking automated driving technology while meeting customers' product delivery needs.
This role is onsite in Phoenix or Peoria AZ
What you'll do
  • Ensure safe, reliable operation of class 3-7 box truck delivery vehicles, in manual modes while keeping other drivers & operators, the public, and the vehicle safe
  • Manually drive the vehicles on assigned, consistent routes to gather route data in support of moving toward future state autonomous operations
  • Display customer service orientation and act as an ambassador for the company toward customers and the public
  • Ensure vehicles arrive at pick-up and drop-off locations on time and the integrity of goods is retained on each journey
  • Assist with safe, secure loading and unloading of customer goods using equipment such as pallet jacks, carts, dollies, lift gates, handbombing, etc.
  • Update the dispatch team on shift and route status
  • Ensure the operation and safety of trucks by daily routine checks (monitoring fluid levels, checking tire pressure, hose connections, etc.)
  • Perform ad-hoc projects such as truck delivery to new locations, testing and/or installing new equipment, etc.
  • Collaborate with teams to follow collection and drop-off procedures on each journey
  • Learn and adhere to company standard operating procedures (SOPs) and ensure compliance with safe operations standards
What we're looking for
  • Possesses a valid CDL with 3+ years of driving experience (non-CDL candidates are also encouraged to apply).
  • Maintains a clean driving record and successfully passes background and drug screenings.
  • Comfortable operating box trucks (26-30 feet), with or without a refrigerated unit.
  • Demonstrates initiative, proactivity, and a strong focus on detail and safety.
  • Communicates clearly and collaborates effectively, while also thriving in independent work settings.
  • Tech-savvy and adaptable to varied shift schedules, including evenings, weekdays, and weekends.

No Touch Freight: Focus solely on driving-loading and unloading are handled by others.
Shift Hours: Shifts typically begin at 2:00 AM and run 8 to 12 hours, ending around 2:00-3:00 PM.
Weekly Hours: Expect 40-45 hours per week, with availability required across all 7 days.
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.
