Safety Statistician, III - Risk & Safety Analysis

Torc Robotics

Remote

USD 145,900-175,100 / year + Equity

Posted on Jun 24, 2026

About the Company   At Torc, we have always believed that autonomous vehicle technology will transform how we travel, move freight, and do business.  A leader in autonomous driving since 2007, Torc has spent over a decade commercializing our solutions with experienced partners. <a href="https://torc.ai/daimler-testing-automated-trucks-public/">Now a part of the Daimler family</a>, we are focused solely on developing software for automated trucks to transform how the world moves freight.   Join us and catapult your career with the company that helped pioneer autonomous technology, and the first AV software company with the vision to partner directly with a truck manufacturer.   Meet the Team  As a Safety Statistician – Risk & Safety Analysis, you will play a critical role in how Torc evaluates, communicates, and makes decisions about the safety of its autonomous driving systems.  You will influence the design and execution of statistically rigorous analyses that inform safety assurance strategies, engineering priorities, and risk-based decision making. Your work will directly influence how safety performance and risk are measured, understood, and acted upon across the organization.  This is a technical role focused on applied statistics and decision support, not dashboarding, experimentation platforms, or generic ML product analytics.  What You’ll Do  <ul> <li data-leveltext="" data-font="Symbol" data-listid="3"
