About the Role
Safe, stable, and reliable transportation is the key promise of autonomous mobility. You will architect, implement, and refine the central vehicle stability framework that fulfills this promise. You will partner with Zoox’s Software, Hardware, Safety, Data, and Operational teams to develop the robot’s Fault Management System. You will support our stability analytics teams and use their results to optimize the on-robot code for rapid fault triage at scale.
You will join the Platform Stability team inside of Software Core, a team of system-oriented C++ engineers developing frameworks to track robot instability in real time. You will provide technical leadership to the team through architectural reviews and data-driven development. You will evangelize safe, sustainable coding practices and work collaboratively with other teams to gather and implement software requirements.
Ultimately, we seek a leader with previous experience delivering mission-critical software that supports large teams. We desire a team member who can visualize an ideal final design, but who also maintains the strategic mindset to deliver the software incrementally.
