What the job involves
- At the heart of our mission is an unwavering commitment to safety.
We are seeking a curious and analytical Safety Methodologies Intern to support the development and implementation of the frameworks that underpin our driverless readiness decisions
- This is a unique opportunity to gain hands-on experience in the autonomous vehicle industry, and you will be helping us quantitatively validate the safety of our autonomous trucking solution using our highly realistic simulator and real-world data
- Develop Python scripts and tools to calculate quantitative metrics and visualize complex data for collision assessment
- Support optimization of data pipelines and automated assessment workflows used for safety validation
- Explore large crash databases and apply multivariate modeling techniques to predict collision related metrics. Gain an in-depth understanding of the ins and outs of publicly available safety resources
- Conduct A/B testing on collision models using metrics that you develop within the context of our broader safety framework
- Collaborate with the safety team to integrate the models you develop into safety evaluation pipelines
The application process
- To be considered for an internship/co-op, please add your most up to date academic transcripts alongside your resume for further review
- The Summer Internship is expected to start May/June 2027 and continue on a full-time basis (40 hours/week) to August/September 2027
