Zoox is hiring an embedded software engineer for its Firmware Drive Systems team in Foster City, California, hybrid. The role sits between the autonomous driving AI stack and the vehicle: turning planned trajectories into motor torque, brake torque and steering commands, arbitrating between the AI stack, an in-house remote controller and test sources like drive-by-wire or trajectory spoofing, and monitoring the safety of trajectory execution and drive control ECUs. The posting asks for production-quality, safety-critical code for complex dynamic systems, and enthusiasm for working with hardware.
