Senior Data Scientist - Verification & Validation
Zoox · Foster City, CA

Zoox is on an ambitious journey to develop a full-stack autonomous vehicle system for cities. We are seeking a Senior Data Scientist to join a verification and validation team that evaluates safety-critical AI systems.

You will join a team of software and data engineers that leverage methods including log data analysis, simulation, and closed-course structured testing. You'll work cross-functionally with AI software, System Design and Mission Assurance, Simulation, Sensors, and other teams to develop, execute, and iterate on validation methods and pipelines. These pipelines evaluate safety-critical systems, are highly visible, and are an important critical path element of launching our service. The ideal candidate brings a hybrid of statistical rigor and engineering mindset to drive clarity from ambiguity, establish new processes, and propel the team forward. This is a deeply technical and hands-on role where you will be expected to be a self-sufficient builder and coder, not just a manager of projects.

### In this role, you will:

### Qualifications:

- MS or PhD in Statistics, Computer Science, Machine Learning, Applied Mathematics, or related quantitative field
- Proficiency in Python and SQL with experience in production-quality code
- Demonstrated expertise in statistical methodologies including hypothesis testing, power analysis, spatiotemporal modeling, Bayesian inference, and multivariate analysis.
- Experience with large-scale data analysis and statistical modeling
- Proficiency with Git, unit testing, and collaborative development practices

### Bonus Qualifications:
