About Zoox Zoox is an autonomous ridehailing company building the world's first purpose-built robotaxi — fully electric, bidirectional, with no steering wheel or driver's seat. Backed by Amazon and founded to make transportation safer, cleaner, and more accessible, Zoox designs its vehicles entirely around the rider. We're currently operating in Las Vegas and San Francisco, with Austin and Miami on the horizon, and testing underway across seven U.S. markets. About Our Contract Student Worker Program Zoox's contract student worker program puts you at the center of one of the most ambitious challenges in transportation. You'll contribute to real projects, work alongside engineers and researchers pushing the boundaries of autonomous technology, and gain experience that goes well beyond the classroom. We're looking for students who bring strong academic foundations, curiosity that doesn't stop at coursework, and a drive to be part of something that matters. Role Overview The Automated Validation & Gating Pipeline Engineer will focus on building, maintaining, and scaling robust automated validation and gating pipelines for off-board software, maps, and framework components across our autonomous driving platforms. Responsibilities Design, develop, and maintain continuous automated validation and release gating pipelines for off-board mapping and cloud software components.
