San Mateo, United States Zoox Full time

At Zoox, you'll collaborate with a team of world-class engineers with diverse backgrounds in areas such as AI, robotics, mechatronics, planning, machine learning, control, localization, computer vision, rendering, simulation, distributed computing, design, and automated testing. You will be challenged to rethink what it means for hardware design to arrive at elegant and efficient systems now that a robot is in control. Working at a startup gives you the chance to manifest your creativity and make a big difference in the final product.

The candidate will have component design and release responsibility for working with components on the innovative autonomous vehicle brake system. To deliver these components and the overall brake system, the candidate will be an integral member of the chassis actuator engineering team and will coordinate the execution and delivery of engineering milestones. The candidate will work with tier-one suppliers to lead the development and release of components related to an active chassis system while meeting cost, weight, timing, and performance targets. The scope will focus primarily on the foundation brake components, and the actuation system and will be involved in control development including vehicle testing and valuation. The candidate will have significant prior experience with this set of components. The candidate will have experience with hydraulic systems and vehicle dynamics development and tuning and with CAN communications and signal analysis. Documentation to be delivered in support of component and vehicle execution will include: requirements and specifications, failure mode and effects analysis, 2D and 3D computer-aided drawings, PLM release process documents, as well as system and component-level technical specifications. As we are a small team, this role will also interface with other cross-functional activities such as vehicle integration and testing.

In this role, you will:

    • Design, in CATIA V6, prototype hardware, and electromechanical systems. Generate 2D drawing packages for fabrication and assembly
    • Evaluate the static, dynamic, structural, and thermal-mechanical performances of mechanical assemblies
    • Be responsible for component testing and characterization including the development of innovative test methods and data analysis.
    • Collaborate with suppliers to manage designs, and design documents, and execute engineering disciplines and component deliveries.
    • Collaborate with different Zoox teams for manufacturing, assembly, and bringing up and operation of the robots.
    • Collaborate with experts in AI, Mechatronics, Computer Vision, and Robotics from all teams throughout Zoox
Qualifications
    • Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering or at least 6 years of equivalent engineering experience
    • Design with CAD tools, such as CATIA V6, and experience with 2D drawings including GD&T.
    • Experience with brake component and system design & development
    • Some experience in vehicle engineering, chassis systems design, and component delivery
    • Understanding of hydraulic systems, friction performance, electrical systems, and system architecture
    • Experience in testing and vehicle development
    • Knowledge of automotive program development/release process and long-term schedule planning
Bonus Qualifications
    • Masters or Ph.D. a plus
    • Patent awards
    • CAN & Network skills
    • Experience at automotive OEM or significant Tier 1
    • Polarion, Jira, and Confluence experience.
    • Simulink software proficiency and vehicle and hydraulic system modeling
