About the Team
DoorDash Labs is an independent team within DoorDash. We explore robotics and automation to transform last-mile logistics in the long term. If you have a passion for applying robotics solutions in a service used by millions of people, then we want to talk to you!

You will be a fundamental and experienced member of the Service Operations team at DoorDash Labs. You will complete more advanced diagnostic and repair work to maximize uptime, supporting our overall fleet utilization goals.

This is an on-site role with expectations of 100% in-office in Fremont, CA, San Jose, CA, or Sunnyvale, CA.
You’re excited about this opportunity because you will…
- Execute any Senior Service Technician task and:
- Diagnose complex, intermittent, or unusual faults in robotic systems, modular components, and support vehicles, often requiring advanced troubleshooting techniques and interpretation of complex data
- Perform advanced repairs, including component-level troubleshooting and fixes on intricate electrical systems, control units, and associated hardware, with minimal supervision
- Interpret complex technical manuals, schematics, and diagnostic flowcharts to guide troubleshooting efforts
- Meticulously document complex diagnostic processes, root cause hypotheses, non-standard troubleshooting steps, repair details, and component failure information in the service management system, contributing potential updates to the knowledge base
- Provide technical guidance, mentorship, and on-the-job assistance to Level 2 Technicians for challenging tasks
- Work independently to manage and prioritize assigned workload effectively
- Calibrates, configures, and maintains specialized diagnostic tools and test equipment

To ensure you can plan accordingly, permanent shift reassignments are provided with at least two weeks' notice.
We’re excited about you because you have…
