Zoox's Robot Software Infrastructure team is seeking a passionate software engineer to advance the platform software powering multiple devices in our autonomous vehicles. This team develops platform-level software, including operating systems that enable the execution of complex, hardware-accelerated workloads critical for autonomous driving on automotive-grade hardware. We work closely with cross-functional teams, collaborating with developers, release management, and operations teams to support vehicle development and deployment at scale. Example challenges: How does a vehicle know what to do when it wakes up? How can a vehicle fleet determine which software to install or update for a ride-share 24/7 mission? Our team tackles these challenges by designing and building runtime configuration systems and tools to ensure seamless operation and updates across the entire vehicle fleet. If you're passionate about solving complex problems and have a strong sense of how components fit into a broader robotaxi ecosystem, this is the team for you!
