The Robot Dynamics team at Zoox is responsible for the vehicle dynamics performance of our robot.
Our team is the engine behind Zooxs vehicle dynamics development. We dont just test vehicles; we translate data into technical insights that drive critical engineering decisions. We are looking for an engineer with strong vehicle dynamics chops and a can-do mindsetsomeone who can use modern data analysis tools to turn questions into answers rapidly find the signal in the noise and provide the broader team with clear options for advancing the vehicle dynamics performance of our robots.
In this role you will:
Conduct virtual ride and handling assessments to identify critical trade-offs and lead testing activities
Analyze simulation and vehicle data to provide quick-turnaround insights on vehicle behavior identify performance gaps and propose hardware or software solutions.
Distill complex vehicle dynamics phenomena into clear data-backed options for the broader engineering team to consider during design and tuning cycles.
Contribute to the core Zoox vehicle model to improve realism and simulation capabilities
Use simulation and data analysis to evaluate vehicle stability in limit-handling maneuvers and safety-critical failure modes.
Qualifications
5 years of experience and a Bachelors in Mechanical Engineering Aerospace Engineering or a related field
Strong first-principles command of vehicle dynamics (e.g. tire modeling load transfer kinematics and frequency response).
Experience with vehicle dynamics CAE development tools such as Dymola IPG CarMaker MSC Adams
Proven ability to look at complex multi-dimensional data and extract clear actionable insight
Programming experience with Python or a similar scripting language
Ability to translate highly technical data into concise summaries and actionable recommendations for cross-functional partners.
Bonus Qualifications
Masters or PhD in Mechanical Engineering with a focus on dynamics or controls.
Hands-on physical testing experience (proving grounds Formula SAE or professional motorsports).
Experience with DOE/optimization workflows
Strong programming experience: Python C
$145000 - $183000 a year
Base Salary Range
There are three major components to compensation for this position: salary Amazon Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) and Zoox Stock Appreciation Rights. A sign-on bonus may be offered as part of the compensation package. The listed range applies only to the base salary. Compensation will vary based on geographic location and level. Leveling as well as positioning within a level is determined by a range of factors including but not limited to a candidates relevant years of experience domain knowledge and interview performance.
