Sitting at the intersection of robotics, machine learning, and\ndesign, Zoox aims to provide the next generation of mobility-as-a-service in urban\nenvironments. We believe the transition to self-driving vehicles requires a combination of\nelegant vision and uncompromising execution.\nThe Role\nAt 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.\nThe 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.\nIn this role you will:\nLead a highly technical, capable energy team.\n\nDevelop and communicate strategies for full vehicle energy management, such as subsystem operating points, energy-saving features, thermal integration, driving cycles, and others.\n\nCascade energy strategy requirements to the various subsystems\n\nCooperate with advanced hardware, thermal, and powertrain teams for energy-efficient solutions and integration.\n\nLead energy simulation and testing activities, including validation and model correlation.\n\nIntegrate the Energy model in the Zoox simulation environment for end-to-end range simulation.\n\nMonitor the Energy roadmap as the company evolves to provide robotaxi service.\n\nQualificiations\nMaster’s degree in engineering, physics, or a related field\n\n10+ years of solid experience in vehicle energy management.\n\nExperience in energy simulation and testing.\n\nExperience leading and guiding a vehicle development program.\nSkilled in data analysis, documentation, and reporting; proficiency with Smartsheet, Jira, and Google Workspace\nPrevious leadership experience establishing technical roadmaps, energy budgets, and individual performance targets to deliver on key robotaxi vehicle milestones.\nBonus Qualifications:\nExperience in Technical Program Management\nExperience in electric or autonomous vehicle development preferred","description_format":"text","description_chars":2747,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":10,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"master","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Autonomous Driving","Smart Mobility","Automotive Manufacturing","Ride Hailing"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-07T15:46:28Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"H-1B filings in 12 months: 373 · green card filings: 120","filings_12m":373,"filings_prev_12m":311,"green_card_filings_12m":120,"median_offered_wage_usd":181283,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-03T21:08:04+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)","US Department of Labor: PERM disclosure data (green cards)"],"filings_for_role_12m":0}],"liveness":{"score":63,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.632,"p_room":1,"age_days":7,"expected_fill_days":87,"reasons":["conf:2","stale_co","velocity","win:early","comp:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-10-14T06:34:16Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":269000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/zoox-staff-energy-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/zoox-staff-energy-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-14T09:28:55Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":10695,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-15T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":3626},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=3626"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fzoox-staff-energy-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fzoox-staff-energy-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fzoox-staff-energy-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/zoox-staff-energy-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fzoox-staff-energy-engineer"}]}
