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.\nIn This Role, You Will\nLead, mentor, and grow a team of mechanical, electrical, and systems engineers developing sensor assemblies and sensor cleaning systems for Zoox's autonomous vehicle fleet.\nOwn program delivery for sensor integration and sensor cleaning hardware, from concept through validation, launch, and fleet support.\nSet technical direction and review key design decisions across mechanical packaging, electrical integration, and system-level architecture for sensor and cleaning subsystems.\nPartner with sensor performance, perception, test, manufacturing, and quality teams to ensure designs meet performance, reliability, and manufacturability requirements.\nManage program scope, schedule, and resourcing across multiple concurrent sensor integration and cleaning projects.\nDrive cross-functional design reviews, DFMEA/PFMEA processes, and validation planning to de-risk programs ahead of production.\nRepresent the team in front of engineering leadership, communicating program status, technical tradeoffs, and risks.\nRecruit, develop, and retain engineering talent, and build a strong culture of technical rigor and ownership within the team.\nQualifications\n8+ years of engineering experience in mechanical, electrical, or systems engineering, with prior experience in sensor systems, sensor cleaning, exteriors or closures.\n3+ years of experience directly managing engineers, including hiring, mentoring, and performance management.\nDemonstrated experience leading cross-functional hardware programs from concept through production, including specification authoring, supplier selection, DFMEA, DV/PV testing, and manufacturing readiness.\nStrong technical fluency across mechanical design (CAD, tolerance stack-up, fluid/pneumatic systems) and electrical integration (sensor interfaces, wiring/harness design, controls).\nExperience managing program scope, budget, and schedule across multiple concurrent workstreams.\nExcellent cross-functional communication skills, with experience presenting technical tradeoffs and program status to engineering leadership.\nBonus Qualifications\nDirect experience with camera, lidar, or radar sensor systems and their environmental/contamination challenges.\nExperience with fluid or airflow simulation (CFD) for cleaning system design.\nBackground in autonomous vehicle or ADAS hardware programs.\nExperience scaling a team through rapid program growth or a transition from prototype to production.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3203,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":8,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Autonomous
