Job Description

At Zoox, Robot Industrial Design defines how autonomous mobility is experienced through form, function, and interaction. We believe the future of mobility demands more than a new vehicle; it requires a fundamentally new product philosophy built around people, technology, and seamless integration. Our design team works from first principles to create products that are human-centered, technically sophisticated, and uncompromising in their purpose.

As Senior Manager, Robot Industrial Design, you will lead the creative direction and development of Zoox’s robotaxi platforms and connected hardware ecosystem. You will drive a holistic design vision across vehicle design, CMF and product integration, ensuring every element reflects clarity, precision, and intent. This role requires a leader who can operate equally at the conceptual and production level, guiding breakthrough ideas from early vision through engineering execution, manufacturing realization and real-world deployment.

You will lead and mentor a high-performing team of designers while partnering closely with engineering, software, product, brand and manufacturing to deliver deeply integrated mobility experiences. The ideal candidate brings exceptional design judgment, a systems-minded approach, and a relentless focus on craftsmanship, innovation, and simplicity. Your work will help guide not only the physical expression of the Zoox brand, but also the future relationship between people, autonomy, and everyday transportation.

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 robotics, machine learning, and design, Zoox aims to provide the next generation of mobility-as-a-service in urban environments. We’re looking for top talent that shares our passion and wants to be part of a fast-moving and highly execution-oriented team.
