Simulation is essential to Zoox’s mission. Zoox uses simulation to develop our driving software, validate safety, and analyze our real-world performance. Our team’s work directly impacts how rapidly and successfully Zoox will achieve its goals.

For our simulators to successfully validate our autonomous driving stack, we need to realistically model and replicate the worlds we will be driving in. This includes modeling and simulating a wide variety of realistic behaviors for vehicles, cyclists, and pedestrians.

As a Tech Lead / Manager, you will be leading and managing a team of engineers focusing on our Agent Behaviors.

  • Manage a team to develop realistic behaviors for simulated cars, pedestrians, bicyclists, and motorcyclists to populate the simulated world.
  • Build technical roadmaps that meet product requirements and lead work on the team towards those goals.
  • Leverage technical expertise to communicate with engineering leads, assessing technical trade-offs and their impacts on project scope, risk, and timelines to meet product goals.
  • Develop processes that promote organizational efficiencies, and improve speed of alignment, decision-making, and execution.
Qualifications
  • Bachelors or Masters degree in Computer Science or related field.
  • 8+ years of experience developing real-time software such as simulation, robotics, game development, traffic simulation, etc.
  • 8+ years of recent C++ development experience.
  • 3D math skills, including trigonometry and linear algebra.
  • 3+ years of experience managing engineering teams of 2+ people, delivering on both short-term goals and long-term strategic plans.
Bonus Qualifications
  • Experience in automotive, robotics, data science, or machine learning.
  • Familiarity with Python.

Compensation

A sign-on bonus may be part of a compensation package. Compensation will vary based on geographic location, job-related knowledge, skills, and experience.

Zoox also offers a comprehensive package of benefits including paid time off (e.g., sick leave, vacation, bereavement), unpaid time off, Zoox Stock Appreciation Rights, Amazon RSUs, health insurance, long-term care insurance, long-term and short-term disability insurance, and life insurance.
