Meet the team:

Latitude's Triage Operations team is a growing group of experts specializing in our vehicle technology and programs. We analyze large datasets from our comprehensive testing program, encompassing on-road testing, closed-course track testing, virtual simulations, and re-simulations of real-world driving logs. This analysis allows for us to identify, classify, and track vehicle performance issues and improvements. Triage Operations serves as a vital communication hub, connecting Operations, Systems Engineering, Virtual Test, and Autonomy teams to ensure a fully integrated engineering lifecycle. The insights generated directly improve our systems and machine learning algorithms, enabling us to continuously learn from challenging scenarios and enhance vehicle performance.

This contract will be 12 months in length.

What you’ll do: 

• Operate as a subject matter expert for multiple high-level team functions with minimal to no supervision, including developing and then presenting metrics and reports to leadership
