Job description
Zoox is on an ambitious journey to develop and safely deploy a full-stack autonomous mobility solution for cities. We are seeking a Senior / Staff Systems V&V Engineer to join the Platform Safety Assurance team within the System Design and Mission Assurance (SDMA) team, applying sound systems and verification engineering to fail-safe and fail-operational behaviors to realize this mission. At Zoox, we take systems engineering seriously and know that your efforts will be critical for delivering a driverless robotaxi service at scale. In this role, your work will directly impact our fleet’s safety and fail-operational capabilities through your efforts on the compute-platform safety case.
In this role, you will:
  • Collaborate closely with system safety, perception, firmware, vehicle controls, and planning engineering teams to understand and review vehicle response strategies for compute platform fault conditions from all potential sources
  • Design and direct system-level V&V campaigns, establish novel testing methodologies and metrics to ensure the robotaxi meets end-to-end safety and fail-operational requirements for Zoox milestones including highway-driving
  • Apply expertise in verification and validation to the compute-platform safety case, accelerating new platform development, and establishing robust fail-safe and fail-operational behaviors.
    • Qualifications
  • BS or higher degree in a relevant technical field, such as Electrical, Computer, or Systems Engineering.
  • 8+ years of professional experience.
  • Demonstrated experience in any of the following: verification and validation, functional safety and diagnostics, system and component testing, Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) and vehicle testing.
  • Proficient in Python for data analysis.
  • Basic proficiency with probability and statistics
  • Data Analysis and Metrics: Lead data collection and analysis campaigns, defining and validating system performance metrics, driving automation initiatives for analysis and process optimization.
    • Bonus Qualifications
  • Risk and Reliability: Experience with quantitative risk analysis or statistical reliability analysis.
  • Fault Protection: Fault protection system design and validation.
  • Functional Safety Standards: Familiarity with ISO 26262, ARP 4754, ARP 4761, or IEC 51511.
