Zoox is on an ambitious journey to develop a full-stack autonomous mobility solution for cities and safely deploy such a robotaxi solution. The System Design and Mission Assurance (SDMA) team plays a foundational role in the company's success, responsible for constructing the safety case and fail-operational design for our autonomous driving robots before public road deployment.
We are seeking a highly motivated V&V software development engineer in test (SDET) to join this systems-engineering department. As a V&V SDET, you will be a technical lead, owning the end-to-end validation strategy for critical safety systems while architecting and implementing the advanced software infrastructure required to verify them. This role is coding-intensive, focused on building solutions for high-fidelity testing, scalable automation frameworks, and sophisticated data analysis tools to ensure successful compliance to requirements and mission success.
Some examples of tools this role supports:
Framework for event definition, orchestration, and verification
High-performance C++ and Python-based emulators for vehicle sensors (e.g., Radar, Lidar, and Inertial Measurement Units) to enable realistic, real-time fault injection
Robust communication bridges between simulation environments and physical vehicle hardware
Automating test management and reporting within lifecycle management tools, e.g. Polarion, JAMA, DOORS.
