  • Use vehicle telemetry, service and supplier data to generate statistical models that identify and forecast the population of vehicles at risk.
  • Develop interactive dashboards, invent new dynamic ways of looking at the data, get creative in order to drive system improvements and help draw meaningful insights and recommendations to end users.
  • Drive a culture of safety at all times!

What you must have:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Machine Learning, Data Engineering, Statistics or related field.

  • Self-starter with a positive and enthusiastic demeanor to thrive in the ambiguity of a dynamic, start-up environment.
  • Passion for autonomous technology.

Bonus Items:

  • Master’s degree or higher in a quantitative field (e.g Machine learning, Statistics, Computer Science, Mathematics, Industrial Engineering) or the equivalent in experience and evidence of exceptional ability.
  • Working experience in building interactive web applications using backend frameworks like Django, Flask, front end like React etc.
