Zoox is developing the first ground-up, fully autonomous vehicle fleet and supporting ecosystem. This role focuses on designing, developing, and maintaining large-scale event-driven software/hardware-in-the-loop (SIL/HIL) tests and testing frameworks using advanced software patterns to improve modularity and reduce code duplication.
Key responsibilities include:
• Architect and manage end-to-end continuous integration (CI) pipelines to automate the execution of regression suites, ensuring robust and scalable testing infrastructure.
• Lead root cause analysis for complex system-level failures by developing log mining scripts and visualization dashboards (e.g., Grafana, SQL-based notebooks) to triage failures and track performance metrics.
• Perform gap analyses between high-level safety requirements and technical test implementations, including development of intricate timing and prioritization patterns.
• Lead end-to-end validation and clearance processes for safety-critical monitors, such as collision detection systems.
• Contribute to the overall quality and reliability of autonomous vehicle testing infrastructure through technical excellence and ownership.
This is a senior individual contributor role requiring deep technical expertise in test automation, CI/CD pipelines, and safety-critical systems validation. You will work on mission-critical testing infrastructure that directly impacts vehicle safety and performance.
REQUIREMENTS:
• Bachelor's degree or higher in Mechatronics Engineering, Computer Science, Data Science, Electrical Engineering, or relevant technical field
• 4+ years of experience with demonstrated ownership of complex projects
• Strong technical communication skills with ability to summarize complex test failures and provide clear impact assessments
• Demonstrated experience delivering complex projects in Python, including AI-based coding for infrastructure development, tooling, and automated test writing
• Deep understanding of HIL and SIL methodologies, including real-time fault injection
• Ownership experience across design, implementation, and maintenance of automated testing pipelines (e.g., Bamboo, Jenkins, or similar CI tools) and custom automation plugin development
• Practical knowledge of Linux internals and networking protocols used in high-throughput real-time systems
