Staff Energy Engineer

About Zoox

Zoox is developing fully autonomous vehicles and the supporting ecosystem required to bring

the technology to market at scale. Sitting at the intersection of robotics, machine learning, and

design, Zoox aims to provide the next generation of mobility-as-a-service in urban

environments. We believe the transition to self-driving vehicles requires a combination of

elegant vision and uncompromising execution.

The Role

At Zoox we have set the goal to provide our customers with a premium ride experience when using our fully autonomous vehicles. The introduction of self-driving technologies and other unique characteristics of mobility-as-a-service presents several opportunities in the energy management field.  You will work with a team of world-class engineers with diverse backgrounds such as robotics, control, and vehicle engineering. 

The role is to lead energy management for a complete vehicle and the robotaxi fleet. From the vehicle side, you will be working in new architecture development with electrical powertrain, high-voltage battery, thermal, low-voltage systems, computing, and all advanced systems used in autonomous driving. From the robotaxi fleet perspective, you will be working with the strategy and operations team to forecast and optimize driving range. You will lead the energy team and work cross-functionally to drive end-to-end energy strategy implementation.

• Lead a highly technical, capable energy team.
• Develop and communicate strategies for full vehicle energy management, such as subsystem operating points, energy-saving features, thermal integration, driving cycles, and others.
• Cascade energy strategy requirements to the various subsystems
• Cooperate with advanced hardware, thermal, and powertrain teams for energy-efficient solutions and integration.
• Lead energy simulation and testing activities, including validation and model correlation.
• Integrate the Energy model in the Zoox simulation environment for end-to-end range simulation. 
• Monitor the Energy roadmap as the company evolves to provide robotaxi service.
