What you need

  • Enrolled in a graduate program (Master's or PhD) in Data Science, Statistics, Operations Research, Civil Engineering (with a focus on traffic/mobility analytics), or a highly quantitative field
  • Strong foundation in predictive analytics, Bayesian modeling, and statistical inference
  • Proficiency in writing production-quality Python
  • Strong SQL skills with experience querying and synthesizing data from large-scale databases
  • Strong communication skills to present complex quantitative results and statistical limitations clearly to non-technical stakeholders

Nice to have

  • Academic coursework or research experience in traffic flow theory, intelligent transportation systems, fleet routing, or urban mobility
  • Familiarity with autonomous vehicle technology, simulation-based testing (SIL/HIL), or systems engineering principles
  • Experience with survival analysis, probability modeling, or extreme value theory applied to safety-critical systems
  • Comfort navigating highly ambiguous, unstructured problems in a fast-paced R&D environment

What you get

  • Hourly Masters Pay $70
  • Hourly PhD Pay $85
  • Eligible to participate in the Company’s generous benefits programs, subject to eligibility requirements

Worth weighing

  • Hybrid onsite internship position
