About the Role
We are hiring a Lead Data Scientist to own applied AI quality, data strategy, and downstream usefulness across advanced AI, computer vision, and perception systems. This person will define how we determine whether a system is working, where it is failing, what quality bar is required for release, and how data, evaluation, and applied modeling should evolve to improve the product. This is a senior role for someone who can bring rigor to ambiguous technical programs, establish evaluation systems, and translate model behavior into product decisions, data strategy, and concrete improvement loops.
Responsibilities
- Own the evaluation framework and quality strategy for advanced AI and vision systems
- Define pass/fail metrics for output quality, structural fidelity, temporal consistency, label quality, robustness, and operational repeatability
- Own data and validation strategy for improving model quality and downstream usefulness
- Lead artifact auditing, failure taxonomy development, release-quality reporting, and evidence-based prioritization
- Measure whether outputs are suitable for perception, mapping, generative AI, and customer-facing use cases
- Partner with model, simulation, and platform owners to drive quality improvements and production-readiness decisions
- Build and evolve metric suites for output quality, fidelity, repeatability, and downstream usefulness
- Define human-review protocols and product acceptance thresholds for complex AI systems
- Evaluate whether outputs preserve the structure, semantics, and consistency expected by downstream applications
- Translate evaluation findings into data strategy, experiment priorities, and applied modeling opportunities
- Help define dataset design, validation slices, and quality-improvement loops across the product
- Create experiment and release reports that turn technical output into clear product decisions
- Help prioritize what the team should fix next based on evidence rather than intuition
- Establish evaluation foundations that remain useful across future AI, perception, and mapping capabilities
Requirements
- Strong background in applied machine learning, computer vision, synthetic-data evaluation, or perception-system validation
- Experience designing metrics and evaluation frameworks for generative, simulation, or perception systems
- Experience connecting model behavior, data quality, and product outcomes in ambiguous AI systems
- Ability to translate research-quality experiments into practical engineering and release decisions
- Strong analytical judgment and clear written communication
- Comfort owning both strategy and execution in a small team
