Zoox is seeking a Senior/Staff CAD BOM Quality Engineer to build and lead a comprehensive CAD training, standards, and quality program as the company scales its engineering operations.
In this role, you will own the CATIA training strategy—forecasting class needs against headcount growth, coordinating instructor-led sessions, and building a roadmap for self-paced and blended learning. You'll partner with engineering leads to identify skill gaps, tailor curricula by discipline, and track training effectiveness and CAD quality metrics. You'll create and maintain training documentation, quick-reference guides, and onboarding materials.
You'll coordinate with internal subject matter experts to ensure consistent modeling methodology and provide day-to-day technical support to CAD users. You'll define, standardize, and evangelize CAD standards, driving adoption within 3DEXPERIENCE. You'll serve as Zoox's SME for CATIA/CAD issues with third-party tools providers (e.g., Dassault Systèmes, Siemens), partnering with them, IT/PLM, and Engineering to investigate, trial, and implement CAD tools and automation.
You'll work with internal teams to investigate, select, and develop a Zoox-specific supplier portal. You'll support different modes of 3D data exchange across tools and organizations within Zoox, and enable secure collaboration with external partners—directly within Zoox's 3DEXPERIENCE platform and via file-based exchange—with a focus on "need to know" access.
As the program scales, you'll build and lead a team of CAD quality specialists and trainers, including making the hiring case, onboarding, and setting priorities.
REQUIREMENTS:
- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or related field (or equivalent practical experience)
- 7+ years hands-on with CATIA V5 and/or 3DEXPERIENCE, including advanced modeling, surfacing, and assembly workflows
- Prior experience developing or delivering CAD training programs at scale, with strong communication and facilitation skills to teach technical content to engineers at varying skill levels
- Strong understanding of CAD data quality standards, model-based definition, and PLM data management, including experience defining and rolling out CAD standards within 3DEXPERIENCE and driving broad adoption
- Experience partnering with IT/PLM teams and third-party vendors to scope and implement CAD tooling and automation (e.g., quality checkers, validation scripts)
- Excellent program management skills—forecasting needs, coordinating multiple stakeholders, and managing training calendars and logistics
- Experience mentoring, leading, or informally managing others—or a clear readiness to grow into a formal people management role as the function scales
- A genuine service mindset and builder's mindset—motivated by making engineers' work easier and comfortable creating processes and programs from the ground up
BONUS QUALIFICATIONS:
- Prior people management experience, particularly building a team from scratch
- Background in instructional design, adult learning, or train-the-trainer/certification models, including experience designing self-paced or e-learning content (e.g., LMS platforms, video-based training, interactive tutorials)
- Automotive and/or high-tech industry experience
