## About the role

We are seeking a Technical Lead for Autonomy Evaluation to own the metrics our autonomy releases are judged on and the log replay and evaluation platform that computes them. In this role, you will take evaluation from recorded logs, to scored regression suites running on every candidate release, to the report a release passes before it reaches a vehicle, developing how replay, scoring, metrics, and test coverage come together into one platform engineers use every day.

## What they're looking for

- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Robotics, Electrical Engineering, Statistics, or a related field with 8+ years of relevant experience
- 2+ years as a technical lead or engineering manager for an evaluation, validation, or test team
- Experience designing safety or behavior metrics for an autonomous system and defending them to engineering and executive audiences
- Hands-on experience building log replay at scale, including scoring against ground truth in open-loop and closed-loop evaluation
- Experience running evaluation pipelines on GPU clusters or comparable large-scale compute on a recurring cadence, with responsibility for reproducibility, throughput, and compute cost
- Experience with evaluation dataset design, benchmarking, and regression detection across software or model versions
