Zoox
Fully electric autonomous ride-hailing service platform
Salary Range: 160000 to 231000 (Currency: USD) (Pay period: per-year-salary)
Zoox is on an ambitious journey to develop a full-stack autonomous mobility solution for cities and safely deploy such a robotaxi solution. The System Design and Mission Assurance (SDMA) team plays a foundational role in the company's success, responsible for constructing the safety case and fail-operational design for our autonomous driving robots before public road deployment.
As a Validation and Verification Systems engineer at Zoox, you will be owning a highly cross-functional role spanning across program management, legal, Software, and Operations organizations. You will be part of a systems engineering organization that develops and deploys novel solutions to substantiate a safety case for autonomous driving. Zoox is building a purpose-built robotaxi. Your real-world and virtual tests will capture the full end-to-end performance, from the advanced AI systems through the custom vehicle platform.
You will be leading the creation of cutting-edge V&V methodologies, developing processes, writing comprehensive validation plans, reviewing verification and simulation results, and preparing reports needed to ensure the safety of the Autonomous software. You will be part of an organization with strong leadership and a transparent and respectful culture that will enable you to bring out your best potential. The role is highly visible and there are opportunities for career growth through demonstrated achievement.

Perform test data analysis and report test results. Define and develop automated data extraction tools to streamline analysis and reporting
B.S. or higher degree in Automotive Engineering, Aerospace, Robotics, Electrical, Mechanical, or Systems Engineering
6+ years of system engineering experience in the automotive, robotics, or aerospace industry
Analytical skills and hands-on experience
Cross-disciplinary background and curiosity
Ability to grapple with ambiguity and collaborate with cross-functional teams
Experience developing integration or structured test plans and procedures for safety critical robotic systems and/or autonomous vehicles, especially ADAS systems like AEB.
Familiarity with programming languages such as C or C++
Experience with test scripting and data analysis languages (Python and SQL preferred)
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.
