Manager - Sensor Calibration

As the Sensor Calibration Manager, you will play a critical role in the development and reliability of our purpose-built autonomous vehicles. You will lead a specialized team responsible for ensuring the precise calibration of our core sensor suite, including lidar, radar, and camera systems for factory, service depot, and online. By developing rigorous testing protocols, system diagnostics, analyzing complex sensor data, and optimizing sensor performance across diverse environmental conditions, you will ensure our perception systems deliver the accuracy required for safe and effective autonomous operation.

Your leadership will directly impact Zoox's mission to provide the next generation of mobility-as-a-service. Operating at the intersection of robotics and advanced hardware engineering, you will collaborate closely with cross-functional groups—including vehicle engineering, field support team, operation team, and systems teams—to overcome complex integration and execution challenges. 

Your team's work in maintaining robust and accurate sensor calibration is foundational to enabling our vehicles to safely navigate urban environments and bringing our fully autonomous fleet to market.
