Zoox is hiring a software engineer for its Fail Operational Planning team, which works on keeping an autonomous vehicle driving when parts of the system degrade or fail. The engineer develops behavioral and motion planning algorithms aimed at trip progress, vehicle uptime and customer experience, and collaborates with planner, perception, prediction and hardware specialists. The posting asks for someone who understands interdependencies across the driving stack, takes ownership of projects and takes a product-focused approach to development. The distinctive part is the failure-tolerance framing: planning work aimed at degraded-capability scenarios rather than only nominal driving conditions.
