The Principal Data Scientist, Vehicle Analytics, is a senior individual contributor responsible for solving complex business, vehicle, and engineering problems through statistical analysis, experimentation, predictive modeling, and applied data science.
This role partners closely with Software Engineering, Data Engineering, Product, Remote Solutions Engineering, and customer-facing teams to identify high-value problems, define analytical approaches, validate hypotheses, and deploy reliable data-driven capabilities.
