Job Description
The Software Systems organization builds the foundations that the autonomy and product software run on, and the systems that verify that software.

• Simulation: Builds machine learning-based sensor simulation, reconstruction and world models used to test the driving software.

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.
