• Explore the new operational design domains (ODD) that are required to deploy the existing autonomy system in new cities
• Work in a highly cross-functional setting (planning/control/mapping/product/PMO) to define and refine the process to deploy the current autonomy system in new cities 
• Python scripting for data analysis and log analysis
• Travel to Las Vegas and Santa Monica to drive the deployment effort onsite
• Spend dedicated time in the car to understand the top priority issues and root causes
• Use simulation and resimulation tools to identify and analyze the representative new scenarios for city expansion

What we’re looking for:

• Degree in Robotics, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field
• Fluent in at least one scripting language, preferably Python
• Prior  experience deploying robots/self-driving vehicles in production
• Exposure to planning and/or control systems in the robotics field
• Be able to handle rapidly changing priorities across different teams
• Strong problem solving skills and the ability to learn quickly
• Strong debugging and root cause analysis skills
• Familiarity with data analysis
• Strong communication skills

Bonus experience (not required):
