Mission Summary:
The Metrics Engine team oversees the extraction of data to evaluate the behavior of our av-stack, all the way from devising the metric formulation based on traffic laws, ethics and safety, to extracting the information necessary to compute these metrics from the logs. Beyond evaluating system-level behavior, we also derive metrics to evaluate subsystems that collectively participate to AV system behavior.
As we are outputting a growing amount of metrics at various stages of the development process, our team is looking for a Senior Engineer to analyze the progression of our av-stack performance with respect to those metrics, and surface key trends. This person will get to make reports and recommendations that are of direct interest to many different teams across the organization, including leadership.
What you’ll be doing:
- Analyze the output of our metric evaluator to provide high-level insights on the progress of our stack
- Communicate with the Testing, Operations, and Autonomy teams to understand their day-to-day analysis needs
- Provide recommendations on how to design experiments to get a stronger signal from the metrics
- Question the results of certain metrics, dig into their formulations and contribute to improving them regularly
What we’re looking for:
- Strong Python coding experience
- MSc in Statistics, Math, Physics, Computer Science or equivalent + 3 years of experience in data science in a tech-heavy industry
- Python/Julia experience in statistical analysis
- Commitment to rigorous analysis - if assumptions need to be made to infer results, they should be spelled out
- Ability to communicate clearly to non-domain experts about potentially complex behaviors
- An interest in contributing to the metric formulation and implementation
Bonus points:
- Experience in evaluating human or autonomous driving behavior
- Experience in robotics
