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 Electrical Architecture team at Zoox delivers system design and electrical architectures required to achieve a high level of system reliability on vehicles.

As the Vehicle System Integration Technical Program Manager (TPM), you will develop the electrical architecture roadmaps through Zoox’s configuration management tool, identify the required workload required for execution, align timeline with stakeholders and download customers, identify roadblocks (related to timing, resources or missing inputs), escalate issue for reconciliation and finally support the tasks owners on the execution progress providing weekly status on program management forums. This is a highly cross-functional role, requiring constant communication with firmware, hardware, product, and mission planning teams.

One key task is to propagate lessons learned among these teams to improve efficiency and execution of subsequent development phases.

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. We’re looking for top talent that shares our passion and wants to be part of a fast-moving and highly execution-oriented team.
