Top Tech Jobs & Startup Jobs

Develop and maintain embedded Linux operating system platforms and robotics infrastructure for autonomous vehicles. Responsibilities include building platform-level software, managing Yocto and U-Boot systems, developing device drivers and kernel components in C, C++, or Rust, optimizing hardware-accelerated workloads, and supporting hardware bring-up, manufacturing, integration, validation, and production deployment.

Own and scale Zoox’s software systems engineering pipeline ecosystem, including static analysis, sanitizers, CI enforcement, dashboards, and quality metrics. Develop tools and infrastructure, transition prototypes into production systems, troubleshoot cross-platform and determinism issues, support checker rollouts, document system designs, and collaborate with engineering leaders on milestones, incident reviews, and long-term software reliability.

Develop deep learning models using imitation and reinforcement learning to generate autonomous vehicle trajectories. Build production ML pipelines, metrics, and error-analysis tools; evaluate driving plans for safety, progress, and comfort; and collaborate with Planning, Perception, Simulation, and Systems Engineering teams to improve autonomous driving in complex urban environments.

Perform system safety analyses for autonomous vehicle sensing and perception systems. Define safety requirements, metrics, and fail-operational architectures for camera, lidar, radar, sensor fusion, and machine learning subsystems. Lead cross-functional safety projects, apply ISO 26262 and SOTIF methods, guide sensor architecture decisions, analyze field and simulation data, and support safety arguments for public-road deployment. The role also involves data analysis, system-level tradeoffs, and using AI/LLM tools to improve efficiency.

Leads architecture, optimization, scaling, and ownership of Zoox’s enterprise and AI data platform. Builds self-healing pipelines, governance frameworks, data quality and observability systems, secure access controls, lifecycle policies, and automated CI/CD deployment infrastructure. Optimizes Databricks and AWS EMR performance and costs while enabling low-latency, AI-ready data foundations. The role also drives enterprise security, compliance, schema evolution, and developer velocity, with opportunities to apply GenAI, Terraform, and EKS.

Develop distributed computing algorithms, performance metrics, and analysis tools for Zoox’s Collision Avoidance System. Analyze petabytes of urban driving data, evaluate system performance, and collaborate with CAS Perception, Planning, Systems Design, Mission Assurance, and QA engineers to define autonomous-driving validation metrics and plans.

Drive design for serviceability and service readiness for autonomous vehicles. Evaluate diagnostics and controller programming across component, system, and vehicle levels; develop diagnostic tools and standardized programming requirements; create service procedures and wiring documentation; and partner with engineering, manufacturing, validation, and field technicians to improve maintenance and repair workflows.

Lead Zoox’s global talent acquisition strategy and a 50+ person recruiting organization. Oversee university, internal mobility, executive, and technical recruiting; build scalable sourcing-to-offer processes; establish data-driven reporting and workforce-planning frameworks; leverage AI and HR technology; and advise the CEO, C-suite, and People Experience leadership on talent strategy and organizational growth.

The Executive Recruiter will drive the entire executive recruitment lifecycle, manage high-level stakeholder relationships, and engage top executive talent in a fast-paced environment.

Develop and test safety-critical embedded software for autonomous vehicle drive systems. Translate trajectories into motor, brake, and steering commands; build simulation, SIL, and HIL validation infrastructure; integrate steering, braking, motoring, and suspension subsystems; implement control-source arbitration and safety monitoring; and collaborate with controls, dynamics, safety, and validation teams.
