Senior Engineering Manager, ML Platform

Zoox is on a mission to reimagine transportation and build autonomous robotaxis from the ground up that are safe, reliable, clean, and enjoyable for everyone. With bidirectional driving capabilities and four-wheel steering, our vehicle allows us to maneuver through compact spaces and change directions without needing to reverse. We are still in the early stages of deploying our robotaxis, and it is a great time to join Zoox and have a significant impact on executing this mission. 

Our growing Software Infrastructure engineering leadership team is looking for a Senior Engineering Manager, ML Platform. The centralized ML Platform team at Zoox plays a crucial role in accelerating innovation across all our Autonomy and Data Science teams by enabling them to develop and deploy models on our robotaxi and cloud infrastructure.

 

The Opportunity

We are continuing to push the boundaries of our ML capabilities by scaling our Vision Language Models (VLMs), Vision Language Action Models (VLAs), and World models, as well as our RL infrastructure, among other things. You will work across all ML teams within Zoox: Perception, Prediction, Planner, Simulation, and Collision Avoidance, building a cutting-edge distributed GPU training platform and enabling SOTA inference optimization techniques such as quantization, distillation, compression, and pruning.

You will lead a team of strong software engineers and managers and act as a force multiplier for our internal customers. This team has many growth opportunities as we expand our robotaxi deployments and venture into new ML domains. If you want to learn more about our ML Infrastructure, here is one of our past talks at re:Invent.

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.
