Job Description
Zoox has embarked on a highly ambitious journey to develop a full-stack autonomous mobility solution for our cities. As a technical program manager, you will work cross-functionally with engineering leaders across software, hardware, vehicle engineering, and product to drive our corporate strategy into tactical and detailed road maps that facilitate effective execution at each stage of our growth curve. You will work with each engineering team to develop project schedules, identify milestones, flag risks, estimate budgets, and clearly communicate ongoing progress.
This role is focused on managing Simulation programs and working cross-functionally with partner teams across the organization. Simulation is essential for Zoox to rapidly iterate on our driving software and hardware, and to validate our safety before we drive in the real world. We create virtual worlds to challenge our robots, from real world data, entirely novel scenarios, or a combination of both. Our simulations need to run at a huge scale to cover everything that might happen, and to help prove our driving to be safe.
Qualifications
- BS or MS degree in computer science, engineering or equivalent job experience
- At least 8 years of experience in engineering, program management, or management consulting
- Experience developing real-time software in fields such as simulation, robotics, automotive, aviation, game development, traffic simulation, etc.
- Strong track record of managing complex cross-functional projects
- Deep familiarity with software development processes & proficiency in tools or processes required to manage complex projects (i.e. Gantt charts, risk matrix, Smartsheet, JIRA, etc.)
- Strong references that highlight your ability to build strong working relationships with senior leaders and engineers across functions and departments
- An ability to keep the big picture in focus and to provide clear, well-structured, and concise communications tailored to each appropriate audience.
Bonus Qualifications
- Experience in simulation for autonomy, robotics, or aerospace system validation: Experience (5+ years) managing simulation programs with a solid understanding of simulation as a technical domain. Familiarity with large scale simulation on cloud compute resources, simulation of agent behavior, sensor simulation, vehicle dynamics, synthetic data generation, simulation results tooling.
