The role

As part of our mission to scale end-to-end embodied AI for autonomous driving, we are building a world-class Data Management team focused on unlocking high-quality, targeted data acquisition that drives model performance and predictability. We are looking for a highly analytical and systems-minded ODD & Behavioural Competency Analyst to lead the analysis of Operational Design Domains (ODDs), traffic patterns, and regulatory behaviours across our target markets.

This role will be critical in defining what data is needed, where, and how much , in order to build models with high Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) and generalisation capabilities across varied geographies.

Key Responsibilities

• Analyse and define the operational design domain (ODD) for each target market or region, including geography, infrastructure, weather, road types, traffic density, and local driving behaviours.
• Identify ODD boundaries, edge conditions, and failure triggers to inform data collection and system design.
• Build and maintain a taxonomy of behavioural competencies (e.g., merging, yielding, unprotected turns, interacting with pedestrians) required to safely operate in each ODD.
• Quantify the complexity and frequency of each competency based on local traffic data, regulations, and real-world observations.
• Develop a framework to compute and prioritise permutations of ODD parameters and behavioural competencies to optimise data collection, scenario coverage, and scaling efficiency.
• Recommend minimal data slices needed to support safe and predictable system performance in a new region.
• Analyse traffic laws, enforcement patterns, and common driving behaviours in new markets to assess differences in required system behaviour and edge case risks.
• Collaborate with legal and safety teams to map regulations to system-level behavioural expectations.
• Work closely with data engineering, safety, simulation, product, and deployment teams to turn ODD and competency insights into actionable data strategies and deployment plans.
• Provide input to scenario library development, synthetic data generation, and test case prioritisation.
• Use historical data and statistical models to identify data gaps or high-variance behaviours that impact MTBF performance.
• Provide guidance on what additional data is needed to reach MTBF targets in each ODD segment.
  
  

About You

• Experience analysing or defining ODDs in the context of AV/ADAS technologies is a strong plus.
• Familiarity with traffic regulations and human driving behaviours across multiple geographies.
• Proficiency in data analysis tools (e.g., Python, SQL, GIS, Jupyter) and ability to visualise ODD and scenario coverage metrics.
• Ability to work cross-functionally and translate domain analysis into technical and product requirements.
• Experience working in an agile, fast-scaling environment with a strong execution mindset.
  
  

Desirable

MS or PhD in Physics, Statistics or Mathematics or related field with specialism in traffic system modelling, autonomous driving deployment, or urban mobility analysis.
