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 Product Software Quality Assurance team plays a critical role in ensuring a seamless and reliable robotaxi experience. This involves the integration of complex software systems, operational processes, services, and end-user interactions. Continuously testing and validating this end-to-end ecosystem is a challenging task—one that requires innovative thinking, technical expertise, and a passion for quality.

We’re looking for an Automation Architect to design, implement, and manage scalable automation solutions that accelerate our software delivery across both cloud and in-vehicle systems. In this role, you'll work closely with QA engineers, developers, and cross-functional teams to build robust automation frameworks that support faster, more reliable releases.

In this role, you will:

Strategize, design, and develop scalable integration automation frameworks while leveraging and enhancing existing systems to maximize test coverage and efficiency.

Partner with cross-functional teams—including development, QA, and operations—to build and integrate robust, reusable frameworks and tools that support end-to-end automation across the product lifecycle.

Drive the shift from manual to automated testing, ensuring safety-critical systems are delivered with exceptional quality, speed, and reliability.

Collaborate closely with SDETs to continuously improve the performance, scalability, and maintainability of existing automation infrastructure.

Qualifications:

Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science or a related field, with a minimum of 8 years of relevant industry experience in software automation.

Extensive hands-on experience in designing and building end-to-end test automation frameworks for both frontend and backend applications, including seamless integration with CI/CD pipelines.

Strong programming proficiency in Python, Java, JavaScript, TypeScript, or similar modern languages, with a deep understanding of software testing principles and automation best practices.

Proven leadership and collaboration skills, with a track record of mentoring engineers, driving cross-functional initiatives, and delivering large-scale projects with a data-driven and results-oriented approach.

Bonus Qualifications:

Hands-on experience developing test automation frameworks for Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) systems, enabling reliable and scalable validation of embedded or real-time software.

Proven experience in designing and building simulation tools to support system testing, validation, or scenario modeling across complex software environments.

Familiarity with AI technologies and tools, with practical experience applying them to testing, automation, or data analysis use cases.
