    Description

    Who are we?

    Oxa is enabling the transition to self-driving vehicles through an initial focus on the most commercially advanced sector; the autonomous shuttling of goods and people.

    We are home to some of the world's leading experts on autonomous vehicles, creating solutions such as Oxa Driver, equipping vehicles with full self-driving functionality; Oxa MetaDriver, using Generative AI to accelerate and assure the safety of deployments; and Oxa Hub, a set of cloud-based offerings for autonomous fleet management. Our technology is being deployed across the UK and the U.S, and we're partnering with a fast-growing ecosystem of operators, vehicle OEMs and equipment makers serving autonomous transportation globally as it advances.

    Based in Oxford, and with offices in Canada and the U.S, Oxa was founded in 2014 and is growing rapidly (350+ 'Oxbots' to date). Our purpose is to change the way the Earth moves, through an uncompromising focus on safety, efficiency and explainability of our AI approaches. The company has attracted $225 million from leading investors so far, with $140 million raised in the last Series C funding round in January 2023.

    Your Team

    MetaDriver is a suite of tools that combines generative AI, digital twins and simulation to accelerate machine learning and testing of self-driving technology before and during real-world use. You will join our Oxa MetaDriver Team which is responsible for delivering these technologies to both internal and external customers. It comprises a wide range of disciplines from ML and simulation, to application development, cloud engineering and data capture professionals.

    • Will contribute to the development of software sensor models
    • Will keep abreast of industry standards and best practices (e.g ASAM)
    • Work alongside Stream/SAT leads to enable tracking of progress (e.g. Jira).
    • Promote and champion stream activities to the rest of the organisation.

    Requirements

    What you need to succeed:

    • Simulation and Modelling Management: Ability to collate and interrogate existing systems, identify gaps, document and build validation cases
    • Technical understanding: Demonstrated understanding of complex technical systems (e.g. robotics or similar), ability to translate between technical and product terminology for external parties. Able to independently prioritise and identify strategic requirements.
    • Cross-functional facilitation: Able to work across a company to achieve validation goals (e.g. launchpad & Reference Platform sensor model testing)
    • Data analytics: Ability to collect metrics, use statistical arguments to validate systems
    • Communication: Able to advocate and communicate results widely and effectively to internal and external customers
    • Project management: Capable of self-management

    Extra Kudos

    • Experience with vendors such as Nvidia/RFPro
    • Has defined coverage / evaluation frameworks
    • Has created/trained ML models
