Zoox is an autonomous ridehailing company building the worlds first purpose-built robotaxi fully electric bidirectional with no steering wheel or drivers seat. Backed by Amazon and founded to make transportation safer cleaner and more accessible Zoox designs its vehicles entirely around the rider. Were currently operating in Las Vegas and San Francisco with Austin and Miami on the horizon and testing underway across seven U.S. markets.
About Our Part-Time Student Worker Program
Zooxs part-time student worker program puts you at the center of one of the most ambitious challenges in transportation. Youll contribute to real projects work alongside engineers and researchers pushing the boundaries of autonomous technology and gain experience that goes well beyond the classroom. Were looking for students who bring strong academic foundations curiosity that doesnt stop at coursework and a drive to be part of something that matters.
About The Team
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 new features you will oversee the development of extensive test plans develop standardized simulated test design tooling processes to execute many different scenarios and put together triage pipelines for analyzing issues seen during offline and on-vehicle 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 in-vehicle 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 self-driving behavior features.
Identify track report and resolve test strategy planning or implementation issues with cross-functional software development teams
Propose prototype and validate a new testing methodology for driving software features using automated metrics.
Design develop and execute synthetic and log-based test scenarios on an in-house simulation test framework
Compile triage strategy and triage results from different QA validation platforms and pipelines
Lead cross-functional QA participation in various testing pipelines initiatives and enablement projects.
Qualifications:
Bachelors or Masters in Computer Science Electrical Engineering or related field.
0-2 years of experience in designing and implementing scalable software systems test strategies with excellent analytical problem-solving and prioritization skills.
Proficiency with automated test framework and test automation.
Experience with JIRA GIT Linux command line Python or other scripting languages.
Strong organizational leadership and communication skills.
Program Requirements:
Currently enrolled in M.S. program in a relevant discipline.
Available to commit to a minimum 6 month assignment.
Able to commit a minimum of 40 hours per week.
Able to work on-site in Foster City California
Must adhere with Zoox confidentiality requirements including refraining from using or sharing proprietary company information outside of Zoox such as in academic research theses publications or presentations.
We want to be transparent: this is not an internship. The Part-Time Student Worker Program is designed to complement your academic experience by providing meaningful ongoing work alongside your studies. Rather than participating in a cohort-based program youll join a team directly and contribute to real projects with real impact. While the program does not include structured intern programming or a pathway to full-time employment it offers valuable opportunities to learn develop new skills and gain hands-on experience in a professional environment. Compensation for this role is $30/hour.
This is a contract position; employment will be through a vendor contracted with Zoox. The hourly rate is as posted and benefits eligibility is determined by the vendor.
About Zoox
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. Were looking for top talent that shares our passion and wants to be part of a fast-moving and highly execution-oriented team.
We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process such as reviewing applications analyzing resumes or assessing responses and identifying potential inconsistencies or verification signals in application materials based on available information. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans.
