- Benchmark Safety Metrics: Support benchmarking studies evaluating autonomous vehicle safety performance against peer standards, regulatory expectations, and internal thresholds.
- Build Reporting Dashboards: Design and maintain automated data pipelines, dashboards, and reporting artifacts used by safety leadership and cross-functional partners.
- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with Safety Engineering, Systems Integration, and Fleet Operations to translate complex analytical findings into actionable safety mitigations.

Internship Requirements

- Proficiency in quantitative data analysis and scripting (e.g., Python, SQL, or R).
- Experience building clear visual reports and dashboards using modern BI tools (e.g., Tableau, Looker, or Plotly/Dash).
- Solid grasp of statistical methods and ability to validate data integrity.
- Strong technical communication skills to explain safety data to both engineering and non-engineering stakeholders.

Bonus Qualifications

- Prior coursework or project experience in autonomous vehicle safety frameworks (e.g., ISO 26262, SOTIF / ISO 21448).
- Experience working with automotive sensor data, crash telemetry, or simulation logs.
