Job description

Who are we?

Oxa is enabling the transition to self-driving vehicles through an initial focus on the most commercially advanced sector: autonomous shuttling of goods and people.

We are home to some of the world’s leading experts on autonomous vehicles, creating solutions such as Oxa Driver, which equips vehicles with full self-driving functionality; Oxa MetaDriver, using Generative AI to accelerate and ensure the safety of deployments; and Oxa Hub, a set of cloud-based offerings for autonomous fleet management. Our technology is deployed across the UK and the U.S, and we partner with a growing ecosystem of operators, vehicle OEMs, and equipment makers serving autonomous transportation globally.

Based in Oxford, with offices in Canada and the U.S, Oxa was founded in 2014 and has grown rapidly (over 350 ‘Oxbots’ to date). Our purpose is to change the way the Earth moves, focusing on safety, efficiency, and explainability of our AI approaches. We have attracted $225 million from leading investors, including $140 million in our Series C funding round in January 2023.

Your Team

You will join a team of computer science and robotics experts leveraging machine learning, data, and cloud infrastructure to build and deploy powerful on-vehicle reasoning capabilities. Your work will enable Oxa Driver to plan and execute sophisticated driving behaviors across all customer domains using data-driven approaches.

Your Role

As our Senior Data Engineer (Reasoning ML), you will be responsible for creating and curating datasets for training and evaluating our ML planner components. You will develop data analysis tools and work on ML model development and evaluation to achieve desired autonomous vehicle driving behaviors. You will also support operational activities, ensuring root causes of issues are identified and resolved, and drive improvements in product quality, customer experience, and maintainability.

You will:

• Lead the development and deployment of state-of-the-art data pipelines for our machine learning models.
• Design and implement metrics for model validation and continuous monitoring in production.
• Utilize the Oxa MetaDriver platform to generate synthetic data and train effective and robust driving policies.
• Build cloud tooling and infrastructure to support experimentation, evaluation, and deployment workflows.
• Collaborate with team members and colleagues across the business to foster a collaborative environment.
• Contribute to hiring and onboarding new team members, including mentoring and developing junior engineers.
