As an AV Safety Software Data Reporting Engineer, you will operationalize defined requirements through data-driven analyses, dashboards, and workflow automations. You will implement innovative processes that are rigorous, diligent, and systematic, as well as applicable and repeatable, as Zoox continues to scale, to ensure reliable and safe operations. You will continually improve our internal data-gathering, analysis, and reporting processes and work closely with our Legal, Policy, Operations, Vehicle Engineering, Safety Design, Software, Hardware, and Communications teams to ensure a rigorous, disciplined, quantified engineering approach.

A successful candidate will be able to support other Zoox safety efforts, including Operational Safety, Safety Planning, Policy, System Design, and Risk Assessment activities.

Support the implementation of safety learnings & data programs, processes and dashboards for awareness and decision-making, including systematically ensuring representation and input from key internal stakeholders.

Continuously improve data pipelines, triage processes, and dashboard functionality to support efficient safety data reporting.

Leverage AI tools (LLMs/VLMs, prompt engineering, and context engineering) to assist with event summarization, semi-automated triage, and workflow automation.

Support the continuing development and implementation of successful operational safety and compliance programs.

Design, build, and maintain dashboards in Looker and Databricks to track safety data reports, learnings, and feature implementation.

BS or MS in Computer Science, Data Science, Robotics, Statistics, or a related field.

4+ years of experience working with large-scale datasets, preferably in autonomous vehicles, robotics, or other safety-critical systems.

Strong programming skills in Python (pandas, PySpark) and advanced SQL/Spark query development.

Experience designing and maintaining dashboards in Looker, Databricks, Tableau, or similar platforms.

Demonstrated attention to detail in analyzing technical, engineering or forensic data.

Familiarity with AI tools (LLMs/VLMs, prompt engineering, context engineering) for data analysis, triage, or workflow automation.

Experience working with cross-functional teams and communicating technical content clearly to both engineering and non-technical audiences.

Bonus Qualifications

Experience with NHTSA SGO, TREAD, or State AV reporting requirements

Experience in automated vehicle systems or diagnostic data or large-scale fleet data

Understanding of AV stack components and vehicle behavior

Advanced degree in Engineering, or in a technical field
