Software Engineer - Vehicle Motion Planning & Control
As a Software Engineer on the Vehicle Motion Planning & Control team, you will design algorithms and implement software to enhance the autonomous driving capabilities of vehicles.
Shipping the software that powers Zoox’s autonomous vehicles is an extremely challenging job. As a Software Engineer on the Core Data team, you will help build the foundational systems that capture, persist, move and retrieve the critical data generated by our fleet of robots.
Our systems connect real-time vehicle software with the engineering and operational workflows requiring fleet data. This includes making critical data available for development, validation, fleet operations, incident investigation, and continuous improvement of the autonomous driving stack.
You will tackle complex challenges involving high-speed data, constrained compute & storage resources, multi-host architectures, and fault-tolerant design. This role combines hands-on implementation and systems-level problem solving with opportunities to influence the long-term architecture of Zoox’s vehicle data systems. You will collaborate across the organization to define requirements and deliver practical, reliable solutions to ambiguous cross-functional problems.
