Autonomous vehicles have some of the largest most complex software ever shipped in a safetycritical environment. Solving that problem is one of the most exciting technical challenges of our lifetime.
As an Autonomy Systems Test Engineer at Zoox you will help accelerate our product development by helping our developers build the safest and most reliable autonomous driving software possible. As developers build features to enable the core ability for our vehicles to choose the best routes through cities and adapt in real timeyou will oversee the development of extensive test plans develop standardized simulated test design tooling processes to execute many different scenarios validate end to end behaviors and put together triage pipelines for analyzing issues seen during offline and onvehicle testing. These efforts are critical to exposing unforeseen failure modes implementation bugs and other issues as a result of new feature development. You will participate regularly in invehicle testing missions where you will see these new features behaving in the real world. Following these missions you will help triage and root cause issues seen during testing analyze test results to ensure existing functionality does not regress from release to release and update our testing processes to ensure QA can continue scaling efficiently with future Zoox milestones. Your ability to distill complex systems and root cause issues will be critical to producing a safe and stable vehicle platform.
In this role you will:
Create test strategies and test plans for Zooxs selfdriving behavior features.
Identify track report and resolve test strategy planning or implementation issues with crossfunctional software development teams.
