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.

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
