About this role

Zoox is on an ambitious journey to develop a full-stack autonomous vehicle system for cities. We are seeking a Staff Data Scientist to join a verification and validation team that evaluates safety-critical AI systems. You will join a team of software and data engineers that leverage methods including log data analysis, simulation, and closed-course structured testing. You'll work cross-functionally with AI software, System Design and Mission Assurance, Simulation, Sensors, and other teams to develop, execute, and iterate on validation methods and pipelines. These pipelines evaluate safety-critical systems, are highly visible, and are an important critical path element of launching our service. The ideal candidate brings a hybrid of statistical rigor and engineering mindset to drive clarity from ambiguity, establish new processes, and propel the team forward. This is a deeply technical and hands-on role where you will be expected to be a self-sufficient builder and coder, not just a manager of projects.
