About the role

Wing is looking for a Data Scientist Manager, Engineering to join our SimEval team.
This role is hybrid based in Palo Alto, CA.
As Wing scales its autonomous drone delivery fleet, the volume of simulation and real-world operational flight data is growing exponentially.

Lead, coach, and grow a team of technical data analysts responsible for distilling complex data into actionable recommendations that inform engineering direction and ensure scalable, reliable systems.
Design and deliver the evaluation workflows, automated triage strategies, and analysis algorithms that aggregate engineering metrics into actionable feedback for engineering leadership.
Develop new statistical methods and data pipelines to quantify performance and identify behavioral regressions across our operational domains.
Partner closely with engineering teams, flight operations and the Analytics team to turn business metrics into clear insights that drive the technical roadmap and root-cause analysis of system degradation.
Proven ability to design and implement robust data pipelines, dashboards, and automated alerting systems from the ground up.
Expertise in applied statistics, experiment design, and A/B testing, with a strong track record of using these methodologies to quantify system performance.
Exceptional ability to translate complex data into clear narratives, presenting analytical findings effectively to engineering partners and organizational leadership.

8+ years of experience in data analytics, data science, or operational analysis, including 3+ years of experience directly managing and growing analytical teams.
B.S or M.S degree or equivalent practical experience in Data Science, Statistics, Mathematics, Computer Science, or a related quantitative field.
Proven experience analyzing complex hardware/software systems, robotics, or massive simulation environments.

Wing offers drone delivery as a safe, fast, and sustainable solution for last mile logistics.
Consumer appetites for on-demand services are increasing, but current delivery methods are inefficient, costly, and contribute to road accidents and air pollution.
Wing's fleet of highly automated delivery drones can transport small packages directly from businesses to homes on-demand, in minutes.
If you're ready to do the greatest work of your life, come join us.

Strong programming and data querying skills using Python, SQL, or R to manipulate massive datasets and extract actionable insights.
