Descrição da oferta de emprego

As Manager, Sensor Integration/Cleaning HW, you will lead a team responsible for ensuring Zoox vehicles can operate safely and reliably in real-world environments. You will manage a multidisciplinary team of engineers designing, integrating, validating, and launching sensor assemblies and sensor cleaning systems that maintain the performance of our autonomy sensors across a wide range of environmental conditions. You will drive your team's engineering solutions and program execution to ensure sensors remain within operational specifications, minimize contamination-related failures, optimize for supply chain and volume manufacturing, improve vehicle availability and serviceability, and support the scalable deployment of Zoox autonomous vehicles.

In This Role, You Will

• Lead, mentor, and grow a team of mechanical, electrical, and systems engineers developing sensor assemblies and sensor cleaning systems for Zoox's autonomous vehicle fleet.


• Own program delivery for sensor integration and sensor cleaning hardware, from concept through validation, launch, and fleet support.


• Set technical direction and review key design decisions across mechanical packaging, electrical integration, and system-level architecture for sensor and cleaning subsystems.


• Partner with sensor performance, perception, test, manufacturing, and quality teams to ensure designs meet performance, reliability, and manufacturability requirements.


• Manage program scope, schedule, and resourcing across multiple concurrent sensor integration and cleaning projects.


• Drive cross-functional design reviews, DFMEA/PFMEA processes, and validation planning to de-risk programs ahead of production.


• Represent the team in front of engineering leadership, communicating program status, technical tradeoffs, and risks.


• Recruit, develop, and retain engineering talent, and build a strong culture of technical rigor and ownership within the team.

Qualifications

• 8+ years of engineering experience in mechanical, electrical, or systems engineering, with prior experience in sensor systems, sensor cleaning, exteriors or closures.


• 3+ years of experience directly managing engineers, including hiring, mentoring, and performance management.


• Demonstrated experience leading cross-functional hardware programs from concept through production, including specification authoring, supplier selection, DFMEA, DV/PV testing, and manufacturing readiness.


• Strong technical fluency across mechanical design (CAD, tolerance stack-up, fluid/pneumatic systems) and electrical integration (sensor interfaces, wiring/harness design, controls).


• Experience managing program scope, budget, and schedule across multiple concurrent workstreams.


• Excellent cross-functional communication skills, with experience presenting technical tradeoffs and program status to engineering leadership.

Bonus Qualifications

• Direct experience with camera, lidar, or radar sensor systems and their environmental/contamination challenges.


• Experience with fluid or airflow simulation (CFD) for cleaning system design.


• Background in autonomous vehicle or ADAS hardware programs.


• Experience scaling a team through rapid program growth or a transition from prototype to production.
