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 a technical program manager on our Infotainment/HMI team, you will work with a highly cross-functional team including hardware, software, vehicle integration, user experience, product, and program management. You will lead and support the execution and implementation of multiple systems and functions, including A2B/audio, displays, rider authentication, and cabin monitoring. You will develop project schedules to meet company milestones, align and track the team to intermediate checkpoints, gates, and milestones, identify and raise awareness of risks, and clearly communicate ongoing progress. As the end-to-end owner for this system of products, you will drive numerous cross-functional topics to conclusion, even if the locus of activity and discussion fall outside of the hardware world
