As the Connectivity and Audio Manager at Zoox, you will lead efforts to deliver stable, high-performance, updatable, and secure automotive control units, primarily focused on audio and connectivity systems. You’ll play a key role in a fast-moving, collaborative environment, where the embedded software team is central to building Zoox’s ground-up autonomous vehicle platform. With many components designed and developed in-house, including custom software stacks, your team will be instrumental in delivering systems that meet both the rigorous demands of fleet-scale deployment and evolving customer expectations.
In this role, you will be responsible for hiring, mentoring, and growing a team of embedded software developers and validation engineers. Your focus will be on enabling deterministic, high-performance behavior in resource-constrained, safety-critical electronic control units (ECUs). These systems must be robust, highly available, and optimized for the unique challenges of autonomous mobility at scale.
