Who we are:

Argo AI is in the business of building self-driving technology you can trust. With experienced leaders in the field and collaborative partnerships with some of the world’s largest automakers, we’re building self-driving technology that is engineered to scale globally and transform mobility for millions. 

Talented individuals join our team because they share our purpose to make it safe, easy, and enjoyable for everyone to get around cities. We aspire to impact key industries that move people and goods, from ride hailing to deliveries.

Meet the team:

We are building a high-performance team that is excited by complex engineering challenges and is passionate about making transportation safer, more affordable, and accessible for all. Vehicle Operations’ essential function at Argo is to safely execute the test and road operations initiatives set forth by our engineering team. Vehicle Operations consists of a team of experts who understand Argo’s underlying vehicle technology and programs. The team then uses that information to effectively manage efforts to meet our mileage and performance goals. These programs will provide detailed feedback to our engineering team on how our vehicles are performing. 

The Operational Reliability Engineering Team is responsible for ensuring the Autonomous Vehicle and various Supporting Software Systems are functioning properly and at maximum efficiency. This includes working with our discipline and responsible engineers to ensure vehicle platform, hardware components, communication networks, data management systems, and software product suites are continually working together to deliver a high-performance Autonomous Vehicle. The Reliability Team is instrumental in triaging reported Production Software issues as well as maximizing fleet uptime of vehicles and supporting Hardware resources at all Argo AI Vehicle Operations locations. As issues arise during any of our operations, the Reliability Engineering Team will be responsible for diagnosing, documenting, tracking, and reporting a wide variety of both Software and Hardware issues through to resolution.

Our Background:

Argo AI was founded in late 2016 by industry experts with extensive experience building robotic systems for commercial applications. Our once-small team has since grown into an over 1,000-person strong company with strategic partnerships with two of the world’s leading automakers: Ford and Volkswagen. Our self-driving system is the first with commercial deployment plans for Europe and the U.S., and thanks to an ability to tap into both automakers’ global reach, our technology platform has the largest geographic deployment potential of any self-driving technology to date.

At Argo AI, we believe that embracing differences delivers superior results. We are an equal opportunity employer that is committed to an inclusive environment for all employees.
