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.

Zoox is looking for a Senior Technical Program Manager to support our service test development efforts. In this role, you will work cross-functionally across manufacturing, engineering, and service to help us deliver our milestones. You will take on the role of a bridge between test development, engineering, and service operations, and develop project schedules, identify risks, and drive internal and external teams to meet deliverables.

The Test and Diagnostics Engineering (TDE) team is responsible for test solutions from “chip” to “car” to “care”. Our product responsibilities range from the sensor stack, control boards, compute units, to the autonomous platform. This role is focused on delivering test solutions to accelerate our service operations and spans automotive diagnostics and electrical serviceability. Deliverables include documentation for technicians, tools, and kits to improve service efficiency and diagnostics.

Zoox is a fast-paced environment, and we expect our TPMs to seamlessly switch between the technical and project management aspects of this role.

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.
