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 systems engineer to take ownership of the safety and availability of our body systems functions and components. You will collaborate with world-class hardware, software, and other system engineers to establish end-to-end traceability of requirements for body systems components on an autonomous vehicle. At Zoox, we take systems engineering seriously and know that your efforts will be critical for delivering a driverless robotaxi service at scale.

In this role, you will:

  • Define and manage off-nominal and functional safety requirements to prevent and/or detect failures to satisfy system safety and availability goals
  • Establish and evaluate criteria for the safety and robustness of global states and transitions
  • Drive quantitative and qualitative activities that involve the development of HARAs, FTAs, FMEAs, and/or FMEDAs
  • Develop requirements and investigate solutions for robust but effective fault detection algorithms
  • Perform detailed systems and safety analysis on custom and 3rd party hardware. Work with suppliers of 3rd party hardware to ensure Development Interface Agreements (DIAs) are in place, tracked, and safety work products are delivered/reviewed
  • Collaborate with test engineers to develop test plans to verify off-nominal and functional safety requirements, measure coverage, and validate fault-handling capabilities and availability
  • Qualifications

  • B.S. or higher degree in Automotive Engineering, Aerospace, Robotics, Computer Science, Electrical, Mechanical, or Systems Engineering
  • 3+ years of work experience with hazard analysis, functional/requirements decomposition, and requirements traceability
  • System development experience with standards such as:  ISO26262, ISO 21448, ARP4754, ARP4761, DO-178C, DO-254, IEC 13849, IEC 61508, or equivalent
  • Experience with vehicle body systems, such as HMI, doors, lighting, HVAC, and/or passive safety
  • Bonus Qualifications

  • Experience with safety-related compute and/or control systems
  • Experience in applying the knowledge/skills listed above to autonomous vehicles
  • Not quite the right fit? Keep looking.
