About the role

The Program Management Office (PMO) at Zoox is responsible for driving cross-functional program planning and execution at the highest level. We partner with leaders from across the company in vehicle development, system design, software engineering, manufacturing, fleet operations, and business functions to develop and deliver major corporate milestones on the path to launch, and beyond. Our program managers contribute to the end-to-end success of technical, integrated product milestones involving both of our vehicle platforms - the Toyota Highlander test fleet and Zoox's purpose-built robotaxi. As Zoox scales its fleet and expands into new cities, we are evolving how we develop, validate, and release software by leveraging simulation, automation, faster triage, and scalable infrastructure. Our goal is to deliver improvements to our autonomous fleet faster and more frequently, while upholding our high bar for safety and quality. As the Technical Program Manager for Automation & Scaling, you will own the systems that make that cadence possible. That means leveraging simulation to validate at scale, scaling the cloud infrastructure behind it, and automating the triage and metrics pipelines that shorten review cycles. This is a hands-on builder role. We are looking for a technically deep program leader who has built and deployed automation that measurably cut cycle time, and who can turn promising research and prototypes across Zoox into operational, production-grade systems.
