Job Description

As a Data Scientist on the Behavior Evaluation team, you will be the statistical anchor ensuring our autonomous driving systems navigate highway environments with world-class safety, efficiency, and comfort. Highway evaluation presents a unique industry challenge: verifying vehicle behavior at high velocities where the margin for error is razor-thin, and critical edge cases are buried in petabytes of data.

In this role, you will bridge advanced statistical methodology with scalable software engineering. You will design the mathematical frameworks, statistical tests, and data-driven metrics that evaluate our planner's decisions. Working directly with large-scale simulation and real-world fleet data, your insights will define our validation pipelines, identify behavioral regressions, and directly shape the software powering our next-generation autonomous fleet.
