    • Drive the analysis and propagation of uncertainties across different layers of the Zoox technology stack.
    • Serve as a mathematical expert within the company, simplifying complex concepts to foster understanding and alignment across various technical teams.
    • Mentor and coach a team of engineers, guiding them to success and leadership in their respective areas.

    • Extensive publication record in academic journals combined with experience in applying theoretical research to solve real-world problems.

    • Proven track record of leading projects and teams that have delivered innovative solutions.
    • Excellent skills in mathematical modeling, algorithm design, and the ability to convey complex mathematical ideas with clarity and precision.
    • Strong interpersonal and leadership skills with experience in mentoring and developing top-tier engineering talent.

    Bonus Qualifications

    • Experience with sensor calibration and data fusion techniques.
    • Familiarity with machine learning approaches applicable to autonomous driving technologies.
    • Proven ability to work cross-functionally, aligning multiple teams and technologies towards a common goal.
