• Build and maintain scalable data models in Google BigQuery and similar cloud data platforms to support reporting, analysis, and operational decision-making
• Develop dashboards and lightweight data applications in Apache Superset, Plotly Dash, or similar tools for technical and business stakeholders
• Investigate source data, identify quality issues, and implement durable fixes that improve accuracy, consistency, and reliability
• Create reusable datasets, testing practices, and documentation that strengthen trust in data and improve self-service access
• Balance near-term dashboard development with long-term data modeling work to support both speed and scale
• Communicate findings, assumptions, and tradeoffs clearly to internal stakeholders and external platform or data partners as needed

What you'll need to succeed:

• Experience partnering with software development, test engineering, product, or similar cross-functional teams to deliver measurable outcomes
• Strong foundation in data modeling, dashboard design, documentation, and quality assurance practices
• Strong written and verbal communication skills with the ability to explain analytical concepts and findings to varied audiences

Nice to have:

• Experience supporting autonomous vehicle development or other complex hardware and software products
• Experience working with telemetry, operational, or product usage data at scale
• Experience building shared metrics and self-service reporting solutions for engineering and product organizations
• Experience with front-end technologies such as HTML, CSS, JavaScript, or React to support customization and enhancement of data applications and dashboards
