As the Sensor Calibration Manager, you will play a critical role in the development and reliability of our purpose-built autonomous vehicles. You will lead a specialized team responsible for ensuring the precise calibration of our core sensor suite, including lidar, radar, and camera systems for factory, service depot, and online. By developing rigorous testing protocols, system diagnostics, analyzing complex sensor data, and optimizing sensor performance across diverse environmental conditions, you will ensure our perception systems deliver the accuracy required for safe and effective autonomous operation.
Your leadership will directly impact Zoox's mission to provide the next generation of mobility-as-a-service. Operating at the intersection of robotics and advanced hardware engineering, you will collaborate closely with cross-functional groups—including vehicle engineering, field support team, operation team, and systems teams—to overcome complex integration and execution challenges.
Your team's work in maintaining robust and accurate sensor calibration is foundational to enabling our vehicles to safely navigate urban environments and bringing our fully autonomous fleet to market.
In this role, you will...
Build and support a factory, service depot, and online calibration system for all autonomous driving sensors, including camera, lidar, and radar
Build scalable and sustainable architecture and software to meet requirements from factory production capacity, service depot maintenance, and online correction use cases
Work cross-functionally to shape scalable roles and responsibilities to optimize calibration efficiency and cost on both the manufacturing and service sides
