Drive data-centric ML model improvements to achieve critical Zoox milestones

Support an org-wide data ontology and class structure for perception models

Determine trade-offs and integrations between human-labeled, human-in-the-loop, and zero-shot autolabeled data

Build metrics to quantify labeling throughput, capacity, and annotator/vendor quality

Requirements

Qualifications:

Master's or PhD degree in a field relevant to autonomous driving (computer science, robotics) to the analysis of human data (computational neuroscience, cognitive science) or a related field

Proficient using data query languages (SQL and/or Spark/scala) to quickly build complex yet efficient data queries at scale and using Python to build production-quality code

Proficient in exploratory data analysis (EDA) and data visualization to understand and present trends and their implications for the business.
