Triage Associate I

When you join the Latitude team, you’ll work alongside leading experts across machine learning and robotics, cloud platforms, mapping, sensors and compute systems, test operations, systems and safety engineering –

As a Ford Motor Company subsidiary, we operate independently to develop automated driving technology at the speed of a technology startup. Latitude is headquartered in Pittsburgh with engineering centers in Dearborn, Mich., and Palo Alto, Calif.

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.

• Evaluate vehicle test data utilizing a variety of internal tooling and logs, including analyzing detailed charts and signals within an internal software environment
• Understand the context of an issue by examining sensor data (lidar, radar, etc.), visualizations from autonomy toolings (e.g. planned path, lane boundaries, etc.)
• Document the context (what is happening) and identify possible cause (why is it happening, which module is responsible) of an issue
• Work in an operational but fast-paced environment emphasizing your attention to detail
• Work closely with team members and internal management to identify and escalate problems
