Manager – In-Vehicle Software QA @ Zoox

Delivering a successful robotaxi offering is the result of a harmonious convergence between software, operations, services, and end-users. Testing these entities as a comprehensive system on a continuous basis is a complex endeavor that requires creative, innovative engineering—requiring a myriad of skills and talents.

Own the technical direction for quality and testing for Zoox’s in-vehicle services software components and systems.
Work with the Services QA manager to establish a roadmap and metrics for success.
Propose data-driven testing solutions and designs for automated system testing by evaluating current test automation frameworks and tooling gaps.
Manage a team of highly technical SDETs and functional QAEs to deliver products on a two-week sprint cycle.
Work with technical program managers to establish delivery goals, timelines, and productivity metrics.
Work cross-functionally with the rest of the QA organization and PMO to deliver Zoox’s vision as a comprehensive product.
