Zoox Senior Data Scientist at Zoox leads the design of metrics and evaluation frameworks for perception capabilities in autonomous driving. The role involves partnering with engineers and leadership to validate perception performance and mentor other data scientists.

Responsibilities

Lead the design of metrics and evaluation frameworks for new perception capabilities, partnering with perception engineers early in model development to define what "ready to ship" means and how it connects to end-to-end driving behavior.
Drive cross-team validation projects, bringing together perception, systems, safety, and autonomy stakeholders to build consensus on metrics, evaluation datasets, and release criteria.
Develop rigorous statistical methods for uncertainty quantification, error estimation, and error propagation (frequentist, bootstrap, and Bayesian) so teams know when changes in performance are real.
Build evaluation datasets and analyze large-scale, highly geospatial fleet and simulation data to uncover perception failure modes, then turn findings into clear recommendations for engineering and executive leadership.
Mentor and guide a small group of data scientists by defining tasks, reviewing their work, and raising the team's technical bar.
