About Our Internship Program
Zoox's internship program offers hands-on experience with cutting-edge technology, mentorship from some of the industry's brightest minds, and the opportunity to make meaningful contributions to real projects. We seek interns who demonstrate strong academic performance, engagement beyond the classroom, intellectual curiosity, and a genuine interest in Zoox's mission.

Job Description
Data Science turns Zoox's driving, fleet and business data into decisions and automation. As a Data Scientist Intern, you may be assigned to one of the following teams:

  • Core/Domain Data Science: You will provide data solutions to deliver domain-specific analytical insights. In this role, you will have the opportunity to perform data analysis to develop and validate the simulation framework evaluating Zoox’s autonomous driving software. You collaborate with key stakeholders in the Simulation team to gain insight into the safety and comfort performance of our robotaxi.
