Job description

Zoox is looking for a vehicle verification and validation engineer for the features on our robot platform. In this role, you will be responsible for validating new functions of Zoox’s ground-up autonomous vehicle. You will be part of a team that develops, validates, and continuously improves the robot’s features and capability to production maturity.  You will engage with cross-functional teams and hold yourself, teammates, and the larger organization accountable for meeting requirements. We are looking for an engineer who is passionate about vehicle feature integration and has strong problem-solving skills.

In this role, you will:

  • Develop, maintain, and execute the vehicle-level validation plans for all vehicle-level features.
  • Create test cases for all vehicle-level features: both robot and customer-centric.
  • Conduct, document, and analyze all validation test results and issues found in written form.
  • Identify and establish a regression testing suite and cadence for applicable features.
  • Support homologation test case creation and validation.

    • Qualifications

  • BS in Engineering or Associate Degree/Skilled Trade with additional experience.
  • 6+ years in combined hardware/software/systems verification and validation efforts. 
  • Experience writing test cases and test reports for feature or vehicle requirements.
  • Experience testing vehicle systems (electrical, mechanical, HMI, dynamic, quasi-static, and inspection).
  • Experience operating development vehicle test assets and modifying onboard software as needed.
  • Familiarity with CAN, Automotive Ethernet, and/or LIN networks and vehicle system architecture

    • Bonus Qualifications

  • Working knowledge of requirements management tools (Polarion, JIRA).
  • Experience diagnosing issues on CAN, Automotive Ethernet, and LIN.
  • Familiarity with LINUX and Python.

    • Sponsorship evidence

    How Openbound evaluates sponsorship

    Visa history uses official U.S. Department of Labor H-1B LCA disclosure data and USCIS H-1B petition history. Green card history uses DOL PERM disclosure data. Each is read for the employer as a whole, for roles like this one, and for this location, weighted toward the most recent fiscal years.

    An employer is matched to its filing entities by verified legal name and reviewed aliases; a match is never made on a name resemblance alone. Where no verified entity can be matched, the page says so and draws no conclusion from the absence. 258 filing titles were examined for this employer.

    What this posting states outranks history in both directions, and an employer's published policy outranks past filings. Filing history reflects past behavior; it is not a promise of sponsorship for this opening, and none of this is legal advice.
