About the company:

Zoox is transforming mobility-as-a-service by developing a fully autonomous, purpose-built fleet designed for AI to drive and humans to enjoy.


The Safety Learnings Engineer will be responsible for analyzing field events for potential safety issues, prioritizing safety learnings, and partnering cross-functionally to develop and implement pragmatic requirements or solutions. In doing so, you will work closely with Software (Planner, Perception, Firmware), Operations, Vehicle Engineering, Safety Design, Hardware, and Legal teams to ensure a rigorous, disciplined, risk-based approach.

This position will require the ability to build strong relationships and build stakeholder consensus in working towards novel safety solutions to mitigate risk.  A successful candidate will be able to work “in the weeds” closely with other software engineers to identify, triage, and implement changes to safety-critical code.  This candidate should also be able to support an on-call incident management process, and contribute to Safety Management System, Safety Planning, Compliance and Policy activities.

Vaccine Mandate
Employees working in this position will be required to have received a single dose of the J&J/Janssen COVID-19 vaccine OR have completed the two-dose Pfizer or Moderna vaccine series. In addition, employees will be required to receive a COVID-19 booster vaccine within two months of becoming eligible for the booster vaccine.

Employees will be required to show proof of vaccination status upon receipt of a conditional offer of employment. That offer of employment will be conditioned upon, among other things, an Applicant’s ability to show proof of vaccination status. Please note the Company provides reasonable accommodations in accordance with applicable state, federal, and local laws.
