  • Demonstrated experience providing an exceptional level of communication and care to customers
  • Must provide basic hand and power tools to perform standard automotive repairs

  • ASE certifications, RV technician certifications, or electrical/electronics training or certification
  • Previous experience in a startup environment or working with pre-production or early-stage vehicles
  • Demonstrated experience creating processes and documentation
  • Familiarity with diagnostic software tools, CAN bus systems, and modern vehicle computer systems

Equity
