Zoox is hiring a staff-level lead for simulation verification and validation across its autonomous-driving stack. The person will define how simulator fidelity is checked at sensor, perception, planning and full-pipeline levels, lead a cross-team program to execute that work, and turn findings into evidence for when simulated miles can support safety clearance. The posting asks for systems thinking, complex cross-functional program leadership, and experience validating a closed-loop model with an AI controller. Its distinctive focus is quantifying simulator-to-reality gaps and their uncertainty for a safety case.
