You will report directly to the in-country Field Engineering Lead, acting as their key operational enabler and escalation point. Day-to-day, you’ll lead resolution of challenging vehicle software and hardware issues, provide cross-regional escalation support, set technical priorities for your team, and own projects, processes, or systems end-to-end. You’ll be the first responder for high-severity geo-specific faults, champion safety-first decision-making, and maintain close collaboration with Field Engineering and Fleet Service leadersh
