  • 5+ years of experience in quantitative evaluation, autonomous robotics, or sensor data analysis (lidar, camera, radar)
  • Proficiency in Python and data analysis (e.g., Pandas, NumPy, SQL), with a strong foundation in data visualization
  • Working knowledge of applied statistical methods (e.g., histograms, probability distributions, simple hypothesis testing)
  • Strong communication skills and thrives in dynamic environments by proactively seeking clarity
  • BS, MS, or Ph.D. in Computer Science, Robotics, or a related field
  • Bonus Qualifications:

  • Experience with autonomous vehicle software stack (e.g., Perception, Prediction, Planning)
  • Experience implementing large-scale evaluation pipelines
  • Experience using applied statistics for system validation (e.g., confidence intervals, p-values)
