Job Description

JOB SUMMARYThe Senior/Staff Data Engineer IV designs, builds, and owns the data systems that turn information from ASI's autonomous vehicle platforms, field operations, fleet activity, telemetry, business systems, and third-party sources into reliable, trusted data for the company. This role sits at the intersection of robotics, cloud infrastructure, data engineering, and business operations, helping teams understand fleet performance, vehicle usage, system health, customer activity, and operational trends.This is a high-ownership, hands-on engineering role for someone who is strong in Python and SQL and comfortable building production data systems that are reliable, observable, scalable, and easy for others to use. The role partners closely with software, autonomy, field operations, product, customer-facing, finance, and leadership teams to create durable data pipelines, models, and tools that support internal reporting, customer-facing products, operational decision-making, and business-critical workflows.ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIESBuild, maintain, and optimize production data pipelines that ingest, transform, validate, and publish fleet, telemetry, operational, business, and third-party dataDesign data models that support reporting, analytics, customer-facing products, operational workflows, and business-critical decision-makingOwn the systems that turn autonomous vehicle activity into trusted usage, performance, and operational dataDevelop and maintain data pipelines using Python, SQL, orchestration tools, transformation frameworks, and cloud data platformsOptimize existing pipelines for performance, reliability, scalability, and cost efficiency as data volume and business needs growImprove data quality through automated testing, validation checks, monitoring, alerting, and incident response processesBuild observability into data systems so pipeline failures, data-quality issues, latency problems, and schema changes are identified quicklyPartner with engineering teams to understand vehicle telemetry, robotics data, system logs, and operational contextPartner with fleet operations, product, finance, customer success, and leadership teams to translate business questions into durable data systemsSupport internal reporting and self-service analytics by creating reliable datasets, documentation, dashboards, and data access patternsDevelop systems that support workflows such as fleet performance analysis, utilization tracking, customer reporting, usage-based billing, and operational planningIntegrate data from APIs, cloud services, relational databases, robotics systems, business tools, and third-party platformsCreate and maintain data documentation, lineage, ownership, quality expectations, and definitions for key business and operational metricsSupport data governance, security, access control, and privacy practices for company and customer dataTroubleshoot pipeline failures, data inconsistencies, performance bottlenecks, and production data incidentsCollaborate with backend, cloud, robotics, product, and operations teams to ensure data systems are aligned with product and platform needsProvide hands-on technical leadership for data architecture, implementation standards, code quality, reliability, and maintainabilityReview data models, pipeline designs, and code from other engineers and provide constructive technical feedbackEvaluate and recommend tools, frameworks, and architectural improvements for the data platformSupport the development of scalable data practices that help non-technical users safely and confidently access the data they needESSENTIAL EDUCATION, WORK EXPERIENCE, JOB SKILLSBachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Data Engineering, Information Systems, Mathematics, Statistics, or a related technical fieldTypically 5+ years of professional experience in data engineering, software engineering, analytics engineering, or related data-platform work;
