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.


At Zoox, you’ll collaborate with a world-class team with diverse backgrounds in areas such as AI, robotics, machine learning, controls, computer vision, simulation, design, and automated testing. You will be challenged to rethink what it means for hardware design to develop a purpose-built vehicle that drives itself. Working at a startup gives you the chance to manifest your creativity and make a big difference in the final product.

As the technical program manager for our Operational Equipment team, you will own the design, development, and delivery of the Human-Machine Interfaces our Fleet Operations teams use to interact with and manually operate our robots for testing, service, and recovery scenarios. This hardware is critical to enable our daily activities, to ensure our milestone successes, and to scale our fleet. You will have two design engineers supporting you, and you’ll be responsible for driving the cross-functional work that includes team members across Product, Industrial Design, Vehicle Development, Fleet Operations, Firmware, Software, Safety, and Systems Engineering.

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.
