We are seeking a motivated Junior Team Lead to support and oversee projects related to autonomous vehicles (AV) and advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS). The role involves coordinating test teams, ensuring project milestones are met, and leveraging knowledge of the local environment and regulations to drive effective field operations and high-quality data collection. This is an excellent opportunity for an early-career professional to develop leadership skills while contributing to cutting-edge automotive innovation.

Primary Responsibilities

  • Assist in planning and execution of AV/ADAS testing projects, including timelines, resource allocation, and reporting.
  • Supervise and guide small field and testing teams, ensuring adherence to safety standards, test protocols, and deadlines.
  • Use knowledge of the local market, infrastructure, and regulations to support site selection and optimize test operations.
  • Monitor testing quality and data accuracy, troubleshoot operational issues, and escalate challenges to senior management when needed.
  • Coordinate with internal teams (engineering, safety, operations, project management) to align fieldwork with project objectives.
  • Contribute to training sessions for test operators and field staff, providing feedback to improve performance and safety compliance.
  • Prepare status updates, safety logs, and project documentation for management and regulatory review.

Requirements

  • 1–2 years of experience in project coordination, automotive testing, field operations, or team leadership.
  • Strong understanding of local traffic regulations, safety protocols, and infrastructure relevant to AV/ADAS testing.
  • Excellent organizational and communication skills.
  • Ability to multitask and manage small teams effectively under tight deadlines.
  • Proficiency with MS Office/Google Workspace; familiarity with test management or data collection tools is a plus.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Prior experience as a team coordinator, project assistant, or junior lead in automotive, mobility, or technology projects.
  • Familiarity with AV/ADAS systems, sensor technologies (LiDAR, radar, cameras), or test data platforms.
  • Safety certification or training related to vehicle testing is a strong asset.
  • Fluency in multiple local languages is an advantage.
