Senior/Staff Systems Engineer - Compute Platform Verification and Validation

Foster City, CAHybridFull-time

AI Summary

Senior/Staff Systems V&V Engineer focuses on designing and directing system-level verification and validation campaigns for Zoox's compute platform safety case, ensuring fail-safe and fail-operational behaviors across the autonomous system.

About this role

Zoox is on an ambitious journey to develop and safely deploy a full-stack autonomous mobility solution for cities. We are seeking a Senior / Staff Systems V&V Engineer to join the Platform Safety Assurance team within the System Design and Mission Assurance (SDMA) team, applying sound systems and verification engineering to fail-safe and fail-operational behaviors to realize this mission. At Zoox, we take systems engineering seriously and know that your efforts will be critical for delivering a driverless robotaxi service at scale. In this role, your work will directly impact our fleet’s safety and fail-operational capabilities through your efforts on the compute-platform safety case.

In this role, you will:

  • Collaborate closely with system safety, perception, firmware, vehicle controls, and planning engineering teams to understand and review vehicle response strategies for compute platform fault conditions from all potential sources
  • Design and direct system-level V&V campaigns, establish novel testing methodologies and metrics to ensure the robotaxi meets end-to-end safety and fail-operational requirements for Zoox milestones including highway-driving
  • Apply expertise in verification and validation to the compute-platform safety case, accelerating new platform development, and establishing robust fail-safe and fail-operational behaviors.
