In this role, you will:

    • Create principled algorithmic improvements to specific areas of driving behavior and implement those changes in our code base.
    • Collaborate cross-functionally to identify failure modes of the system, and develop strategies and intelligent behaviors to mitigate the performance degradation.
    • Architect and implement scalable solutions ensuring seamless integration with the rest of the driving stack.
    • Partner with validation teams to define and execute tests for developed algorithms.

Qualifications:

    • Master's degree in Computer Science or related field
    • Fluency in C++
    • Extensive experience with programming and algorithm design
    • Understanding of vehicle kinematics
    • 5+ years of experience in a related field
Compensation
There are three major components to compensation for this position: salary, Amazon Restricted Stock Units (RSUs), and Zoox Stock Appreciation Rights. The salary will range from $165,000 to $303,000. A sign-on bonus may be part of a compensation package. Compensation will vary based on geographic location, job-related knowledge, skills, and experience.  

Zoox also offers a comprehensive package of benefits including paid time off (e.g. sick leave, vacation, bereavement), unpaid time off, Zoox Stock Appreciation Rights, Amazon RSUs, health insurance, long-term care insurance, long-term and short-term disability insurance, and life insurance.
