Zoox is an autonomous ride-hailing company building the world's first purpose-built robotaxi — fully electric, bidirectional, with no steering wheel or driver's seat. Backed by Amazon and founded to make transportation safer, cleaner, and more accessible, Zoox designs its vehicles entirely around the rider. We're currently operating in Las Vegas and San Francisco, with Austin and Miami on the horizon, and testing underway across seven U.S. markets.

Zoox's contract student worker program puts you at the center of one of the most ambitious challenges in transportation. You'll contribute to real projects, work alongside engineers and researchers pushing the boundaries of autonomous technology, and gain experience that goes well beyond the classroom.

What you'd do

  • Execute and coordinate validation cycles for Zoox's Manufacturing test infrastructure with a focus on driving test infra stability
  • Act as on-call support for the factory, representing the HWSI-FW team as you document, triage, characterize and report stability issues in order to unblock factory operations

What they want

  • Currently enrolled in a B.S. or M.S. in Automotive Engineering, Robotics, Systems Engineering, Mechatronics, or a relevant technical field
  • Available to commit to a minimum three-month assignment
  • Able to commit to a minimum of 40 hours per week
  • Able to work on-site in Foster City CA
  • Must adhere with Zoox confidentiality requirements, including refraining from using or sharing proprietary company information outside of Zoox, such as in academic research, theses, publications, or presentations
  • Ability to understand and navigate complex technical systems
  • Ability to grapple with ambiguity and collaborate with cross-functional teams
  • Experience with Linux, Git, and Jira
  • Experience with autonomous vehicles, robotics, or other safety-critical systems
  • Experience with simulation environments and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing
