Applied Data Scientist role focusing on developing frameworks for evaluating autonomous technologies. Join Waabi's innovative team advancing autonomous transportation solutions based on Physical AI.
Responsibilities
Design scalable production frameworks for autonomy evaluation. You will apply statistically rigorous methodologies to challenges such as sampling evaluation sets to ensure comprehensive Operational Design Domain (ODD) coverage.
Design and implement methodologies to systematically measure and monitor the performance, fidelity, and reliability of the evaluation infrastructure itself, ensuring our testing ecosystem remains a highly trusted source of truth.
Directly prototype complex deep-dive analyses, write production-quality evaluation code, and build the sophisticated tools and dashboards that synthesize our progress for technical and executive leadership.
Act as a key partner to Safety and Autonomy teams, ensuring that our automated reporting faithfully captures the technical intent and requirements of our system.
Develop advanced analytical models to help correlate closed-loop simulation performance with real-world driving outcomes, quantifying the fidelity and predictive power of our evaluation metrics.
Serve as a subject matter expert and collaborative partner, elevating the analytical bar of the team through code reviews, methodological guidance, and helping to define best practices for end-to-end data science workflows.
Requirements
Minimum of 6+ years of professional experience in an applied data science, advanced analytics, or machine learning role, with a track record of driving end-to-end projects.
MS/PhD or equivalent experience in a highly quantitative field such as Statistics, Mathematics, Computer Science, Physics, or Robotics.
Strong command of Python/SQL for data analysis and prototyping.
Expertise in statistical methods, including hypothesis testing, A/B testing on complex systems, sampling methodologies, and statistical modeling.
Experience working with internal cross-functional partners/stakeholders.
Open-minded and collaborative team player with willingness to help others.
Passionate about self-driving technologies, solving hard problems, and creating innovative solutions.
Bonus/nice to have:
Experience in the Autonomous Vehicle or Robotics industry.
