Foster City, California, United States Zoox Full time

As a Senior Robotics Engineer on the Motion Planning team at Zoox, you will have the opportunity to tackle the cutting-edge problem of improving the robot's driving behaviors on public roads.

Within the Mission Progress team, you will focus on one of the most open-ended problems: pickup and dropoff. This involves designing principled algorithmic improvements across different driving behavior categories and implementing those changes in our code base.

You will use our extensive backend tooling to test your changes across many different driving scenarios at the press of a button.

Additionally, you will lead on-vehicle drive reviews to generate actionable feedback on driving performance and use this experience to help the team learn and make improvements.

You will also attend conferences and survey literature to stay informed on the most recent developments in the fields of Robotics and Motion Planning.

Finally, you will write and file patents for novel technologies you develop.

Qualifications:

  • B.S or M.S. degree in Computer Science, Mechanical Engineering, or related field and 8+ years of experience
  • Fluency in C++
  • Understanding of configuration spaces and a variety of planning techniques (A*, RRTs, PRMs, etc.)
  • Demonstrated ability to create real-time motion planning algorithms

Bonus Qualifications:

  • Experience working with planning problems related to pickup/dropoff or pullover maneuvers
  • Experience with machine learning applications in motion planning
  • Significant contributions to geometric- and/or sampling-based planning algorithms

Compensation:

There are three major components to compensation for this position: salary, Amazon Restricted Stock Units (RSUs), and Zoox Stock Appreciation Rights.

The salary will range from $221,000 to $319,000. 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.
