Release Engineer

Autonomous vehicles have some of the largest, most complex software ever shipped in a safety-critical environment. Solving that problem is one of the most exciting technical challenges of our lifetime. As part of the Release Management team at Zoox, you will own all aspects of the software release process and help accelerate our product development by leading various weekly / fortnightly / monthly releases focused on ensuring we are shipping the safest and most reliable software possible. As developers build new features, the release management team will be responsible for tracking and knowing the content of each release, updating testing strategies, measuring system performance, and escalating issues seen during on-vehicle and offline testing. These efforts are critical to maintaining our code quality and ensuring our service capabilities are operating as intended. You will coordinate with cross-divisional teams to accelerate releases, increase the quality of our autonomous driving products, and optimize resource efficiency. Your ability to understand the overall system design and component interaction to help guide test methodology for functional and safety sign-off is crucial to the overall success of the release team. Accountability and integrity are core to Zoox teams. In this role, you will: Work with all stakeholders in Development, QA, and vehicle operations to assemble cross-organizational project teams, tracking progress and delivering towards release milestones Multiply the

Zoox is on an ambitious journey to develop a full-stack autonomous mobility solution for cities and safely deploy such a robotaxi solution. We are seeking a highly motivated Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET) to join the Release Management Team. As a Software Development Engineer in Test on the Release Management team at Zoox, you will help accelerate our software release by ensuring that we are shipping the safest and most reliable software possible. As developers build new features, you will be responsible for developing Hardware-In-Loop tests to support our safety case. These efforts are critical to maintaining our code quality and ensuring our service capabilities are operating as intended. Your ability to understand the overall system design and component interaction to help guide test methodology for functional and safety sign-off is crucial to the overall success of Zoox. Accountability and integrity are core to our team. This role is coding-intensive, focused on building solutions for high-fidelity testing, scalable automation frameworks, and sophisticated data analysis tools to ensure successful compliance to requirements and mission success. In this role, you will: Lead the design, development and maintenance of large-scale event-driven software/hardware -in-the-loop (SIL/HIL) tests and testing frameworks, utilizing advanced software patterns to improve modularity and reduce code duplication. Architect and manage end-to-end continuous integration (CI) pipelines to automate the execution of regression suites. Lead root cause analysis for complex system-level failures, developing log mining scripts and visualization dashboards (e.g., Grafana, SQL-based notebooks) to triage failures and track performance metrics. Perform gap analyses between high-level safety requirements and technical test implementations, including the development of intricate timing and prioritization patterns. Lead end-

At Zoox, we are developing a purpose built autonomous robotaxi, and the Sustaining Engineering team plays a critical role in ensuring the long term reliability, safety, serviceability, and availability of our fleet as it operates at scale. As a Sustaining Engineer supporting Body and Closure Systems, you will independently own sustaining engineering for key subsystems supporting both the in-service fleet and vehicles in current production. You will drive root cause investigations and corrective actions, making subsystem-level technical decisions and leading changes through design, validation, release, and fleet implementation. This role requires close collaboration with Vehicle Development, Manufacturing, Service, Quality, Reliability, and Suppliers in a fast paced and often ambiguous environment. You will prioritize work based on fleet and production impact, delivering solutions that improve safety, durability, fleet uptime, and manufacturing performance. In this role, you will: Own sustaining engineering and corrective action development for body and closure systems across the in service fleet and vehicles in current production, from root cause confirmation through fleet-wide implementation Drive end-to-end resolution of field and manufacturing issues across door systems, latches, actuators, sealing, access panels, glazing, and body structures Apply fleet and production data, including MTBF, repeat failure rates, and downtime drivers, to prioritize work, validate solutions, and drive continuous improvement Lead design updates and system improvements, ensuring robust performance, durability, efficiency, and serviceability in both fleet and production environments Author and manage Engineering Change Requests and Change Actions, and develop and execute validation plans at component, system, and vehicle levels Support and lead retrofit and rework campaigns, and partner with suppliers to resolve quality issues and im
