Are you a “highly motivated self-starter” who wants to drive an “engineering vehicle for extended periods, conducting dynamic audio and camera data collection for testing and training” purposes?

This role requires a “high level of flexibility, strong attention to detail, excellent driving skills, and the ability to thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.”

You must have driver’s license, of course, and be English-language and tech-savvy. Oh, and you must pass a drug test.

If you are interested, you can apply to autonomous vehicle manufacturer Tesla for a job as an Autopilot Vehicle Operator.

seeks people to drive around the Flushing neighborhood in Queens, New York City, in one of its autonomous vehicles collecting data. However, the boilerplate teases that there could be more in store as candidates must have “the flexibility of traveling to domestic or international destinations, as necessary.”

The full-time job pays from $25.25 to $30.60 a hour, depending on the shift.

The full-time position comes with quite a package of benefits that includes health, dental, vision, 401(k), health savings account, weight loss and commuter benefits along with family-building benefits such as fertility, adoption and surrogacy benefits; back-up childcare and parenting support; and the Tesla Babies merchandise program. Benefits are available on the first day of hire.

The job ad is an indication that Tesla may want to deploy its ride-hailing and/or robotaxi services in the Big Apple sometime soon. The company has been given the green light to launch its robotaxi in Texas, after a test drive in Austin. It has been testing its ride-hailing service in San Francisco and announced plans to expand to Arizona.

State and local laws typically require firms offering ride-hailing services to become licensed as as transportation network companies (TNC). Tesla is a licensed TNC in Texas.
