This role will help initiate process improvements related to how we track our ability to always finish the mission and deliver a satisfied rider safely to their destination.

On the Platform Safety Engineering and Analysis (PSEA) team, we are seeking a systems engineer candidate with a strong data analysis background. In this role, you will work with a cross-functional team to evaluate the autonomous vehicle’s interfaces, as well as its response to various faults. Your work will be highly hands-on and directly contribute to the safe deployment of our novel autonomous vehicle. Your work will involve conducting various types of data analysis, reviewing and developing requirements, and building dashboards.
