In this role, you will

  • Analyze autonomy performance metrics such as disengagements, success rates, and scenario outcomes to assess system readiness
  • Identify trends, anomalies, and failure modes using large-scale driving data
  • Translate data insights into actionable recommendations that guide engineering priorities and improve system behavior
  • Partner closely with autonomy, safety, and operations teams to align on success criteria and validate improvements
  • Help shape Zoox’s strategy for safe and scalable deployment by ensuring autonomy decisions are grounded in rigorous analysis

Qualifications

  • Experience driving decision-making at various levels in an organization
  • Familiarity with SQL, Python, R, or Scala
  • Proven ability to define metrics and build scalable analysis pipelines to evaluate complex systems
  • Strong communication skills with the ability to translate technical findings into actionable insights
  • Bonus Qualifications

  • Experience with geospatial data analysis
  • Experience with Spark or large-scale data analysis
  • Familiarity with or exposure to experimentation platforms
  • Experience working with autonomous vehicles, robotics, or transportation systems
  • Compensation

    There are three major components to compensation for this position : salary, Amazon Restricted Stock Units (RSUs), and Zoox Stock Appreciation Rights. The salary will range from $169,000 to $203,000. A sign-on bonus may be part of a compensation package. Compensation will vary based on geographic location, job-related knowledge, skills, and experience.

    Zoox also offers a comprehensive package of benefits including paid time off (e.g. sick leave, vacation, bereavement), unpaid time off, Zoox Stock Appreciation Rights, Amazon RSUs, health insurance, long-term care insurance, long-term and short-term disability insurance, and life insurance.
