Salary Range: 224000 to 269000 (Currency: USD) (Pay period: per-year-salary)
About Zoox
Zoox is developing fully autonomous vehicles and the supporting ecosystem required to bring
the technology to market at scale. Sitting at the intersection of robotics, machine learning, and
design, Zoox aims to provide the next generation of mobility-as-a-service in urban
environments. We believe the transition to self-driving vehicles requires a combination of
elegant vision and uncompromising execution.
The Role
At Zoox we have set the goal to provide our customers with a premium ride experience when using our fully autonomous vehicles. The introduction of self-driving technologies and other unique characteristics of mobility-as-a-service presents several opportunities in the energy management field. You will work with a team of world-class engineers with diverse backgrounds such as robotics, control, and vehicle engineering.
The role is to lead energy management for a complete vehicle and the robotaxi fleet. From the vehicle side, you will be working in new architecture development with electrical powertrain, high-voltage battery, thermal, low-voltage systems, computing, and all advanced systems used in autonomous driving. From the robotaxi fleet perspective, you will be working with the strategy and operations team to forecast and optimize driving range. You will lead the energy team and work cross-functionally to drive end-to-end energy strategy implementation.
Lead a highly technical, capable energy team.
Develop and communicate strategies for full vehicle energy management, such as subsystem operating points, energy-saving features, thermal integration, driving cycles, and others.
Cascade energy strategy requirements to the various subsystems
Cooperate with advanced hardware, thermal, and powertrain teams for energy-efficient solutions and integration.
Lead energy simulation and testing activities, including validation and model correlation.
Integrate the Energy model in the Zoox simulation environment for end-to-end range simulation.
Monitor the Energy roadmap as the company evolves to provide robotaxi service.
Zoox designs and operates an autonomous ride-hailing service built around a purpose-built, fully electric vehicle designed specifically for autonomous operation. The vehicle uses advanced sensors, cameras, and AI to navigate complex urban environments, offering a four-passenger interior for comfort. Unlike competitors that retrofit existing cars, Zoox engineers both the vehicle and the service from the ground up, enabling optimized safety, efficiency, and passenger experience through integrated software that optimizes routing and reduces wait times. The company emphasizes safety through extensive testing and regulatory collaboration, and sustainability via electric mobility. The ultimate goal is to provide a smarter, safer, and more efficient urban transportation system that improves city life while reducing emissions.
