Ever imagined saying, “I helped launch the future of transportation”?
We’re rewriting the rules of urban mobility. At Vay, customers tap a button and a car arrives - with no one inside - powered by our world-first Remote Driving technology on real public streets.
We’re live in Las Vegas and scaling fast, powered by a strategic investment of up to $410 million from Grab. Our mission is simple: replace private car ownership with a faster, cleaner, door-to-door mobility model. If you want to build something real, visible, and genuinely transformative, you’ll feel right at home here.
As a Production Quality Engineer, you will sit at the heart of Vay’s production scale-up, ensuring that every vehicle and remote driving station released into our fleet meets uncompromising standards of safety, reliability, and quality. This role is deeply hands-on, operating on the production floor and directly influencing how our products are built, tested, and released. You are being hired to raise the bar on manufacturing quality as we transition from early production into high-volume, repeatable operations.
You will own production quality end-to-end, from in-process controls through final release, while building robust systems that prevent defects and scale with the business.
