About the Team 
The End-to-End (E2E) Feature and Homologation team brings systems engineering focus and discipline to Zoox mobility-as-a-service deployment and operations. We are systems engineers working with key business stakeholders to define and deliver remarkable product capabilities that span across Vehicle, Autonomy, and Operations segments.  We partner with the systems teams from each domain by leveraging their deep technical knowledge, implementation expertise, and validation techniques to deliver a fully verified product capability.  The result is E2E ownership of a world-class mobility service.

  • Lead triage with cross-functional stakeholders for bugs or reported issues.

Qualifications

  • 8 years of engineering work experience, alongside a Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Computer Science, or Physics.
  • Experience designing complex systems that integrate multiple hardware and software components, paired with a solid understanding of full HW/SW development lifecycles.

  • Proven leadership, organization, and communication skills.

Bonus Qualifications

  • Prior experience in fail-operational or safety-critical systems design
  • Experience with software development and architecture principles
  • Experience with requirements management tools (Polarion, DOORS, JAMA, etc) and MBSE tools (Cameo, Magicdraw, Catia Magic, etc)
