Transdev Lead Test Technician Autonomous Vehicles reviews

It provide career development classes

As a Senior Autonomous Specialist at Transdev working for Waymo, you will get to directly experience and make valuable contributions to one of the top autonomous vehicle technologies in the world. You'll be good at this job if you love people, driving, technology, cruise control, typing, writing, and video games. The role has competitive pay and benefits when compared to rideshare or taxi driving. You'll have opportunities to get to know some co-workers very well (during dual-driver missions). There are many opportunities for advancement with regular internal hiring announcements including instructor roles and salaried management positions within Transdev. If you're introverted and like being alone in a car to listen to music, podcasts, or audiobooks, there are single driver paths, but they may not lead to promotions and your hourly rate will cap out after a couple of years. You can apply for travel opportunities to temporarilly work in new cities being developed for the Waymo One service. You will get to know the cities you work in like the back of your hand. There is also a tractor-trailer division called Waymo Via that you can transfer into. It is pretty easy to get hired into the entry-level Autonomous Specialist role, but you need to be diligent, patient, persistent, and work well with others to be promoted into the Senior AS role. There are pay bumps every 6-months. Most drivers seem to be first- or second-generation immigrants from all around the world which is pretty awesome because you can hear their stories about their native country. Although it is a very ethnically diverse work environment, there seem to be a lot more men than women, so if you’re a woman, you may actually have an easier time getting hired here.
