About the Company

At Torc, we have always believed that autonomous vehicle technology will transform how we travel, move freight, and do business.

A leader in autonomous driving since 2007, Torc has spent over a decade commercializing our solutions with experienced partners. Now a part of the Daimler family, we are focused solely on developing software for automated trucks to transform how the world moves freight.

Join us and catapult your career with the company that helped pioneer autonomous technology, and the first AV software company with the vision to partner directly with a truck manufacturer.

Meet the Team: Join a dynamic and innovative team working at the forefront of autonomous driving technology. As part of a collaborative, cross-functional group, you will help build and maintain the cloud-based data analysis systems that power our safety performance insights. Our team includes experts from a variety of disciplines, all working together to solve complex engineering and data challenges that will shape the future of autonomous driving.

Please note that although this role is remote, a schedule aligned with Eastern Time will be required.

What you'll do: In this role, you will use your engineering, statistical, and programming skills to collect, analyze, and interpret large, heterogeneous data sets. You will work with vehicle sensing hardware, autonomous driving systems, and a range of data sources to develop robust and scalable cloud-based data analysis pipelines. These systems will provide continuous feedback to the organization, supporting team and executive decision-making with critical insights on safety performance.

• Data Processing (50%): Research and access internal and external big data sources. Perform exploratory analyses to evaluate data completeness and relevance. Develop serverless cloud-based workflows to transform and integrate data from various domains, including vehicle, sensing, video, meteorological, and geospatial data. Use engineering principles, signal processing and statistical principles to clean, filter, and process raw data effectively.
• Analysis (35%): Select appropriate analysis methods for various data types to manage bias and ensure data quality. Develop models, compare performance, and identify key factors that impact safety performance. Construct continuous analysis workflows that support day-to-day operations and decision-making.
• Reporting (15%): Use visualization tools to communicate insights and support decision-making. Automate reporting and documentation to improve efficiency and regulatory compliance. Maintain detailed documentation of code, workflows, and data stores for reference by team members.

What you’ll need to Succeed:

• Education: A degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Statistics, or a related technical field. Required experience:
• M.S. with 0-3+ years of experience, or
• B.S. with 4+ years of experience.
• Experience & Skills:
• Proven experience in mechanical engineering, vehicle engineering, or physics-based applications.
• Experience with vehicle and sensor systems, cloud-based data technology, data visualization, and statistical analytics.
• Proficiency in programming languages, particularly Python and SQL.
• Familiarity with agile development practices and continuous integration/deployment (CI/CD).
• Strong time management and organizational skills with the ability to prioritize tasks effectively.
• Excellent problem-solving skills and the ability to dissect complex issues and develop creative solutions.
• Ability to communicate effectively with diverse teams and stakeholders.
• Experience working in distributed teams, with the ability to collaborate across different time zones.
