The Role
Zoox is developing the first ground-up, fully autonomous vehicle fleet and the supporting ecosystem required to bring this technology to market. Sitting at the intersection of artificial intelligence, robotics, and design, Zoox aims to provide the next generation of mobility-as-a-service in urban environments.

  • Lead the assessment of homologation requirements for non-robotaxi Zoox-owned vehicles.  Support the teams with developing solutions, as needed.
  • Support the other homologation team members on FMVSS, EPA, CARB, and FCC delivery.  
  • Track homologation testing and progress toward milestones
  • Analyze homologation documentation for sufficiency, accuracy, and completeness
  • Review and identify engineering changes with potential homologation impact.  Approve change requests for HW and SW on behalf of homologation
  • Support issue resolution during vehicle launch
  • Review Quality Audits for FMVSS compliance concerns
