Reporting into the Product Security organization, this person will own the vision for our robot security roadmap - from our current-generation vehicles to next-generation platforms - setting the technical direction that keeps our autonomous fleet resilient against real-world threats. This is a high-impact, high-visibility role for someone who wants to shape how security is architected into every layer of a physical, safety-critical robotic system.\nIn this role, you will:\nDefine and own the multi-year security architecture and roadmap for Zoox's robots and fleet, spanning embedded/firmware, in-vehicle networks, cloud, and supporting infrastructure.\nPartner with hardware, firmware, autonomy, and infrastructure engineering teams to embed security requirements into system design from the ground up, rather than bolting them on after the fact.\nLead threat modeling and architecture reviews for new vehicle platforms and major feature launches, identifying and prioritizing systemic risk across the fleet.\nSet technical standards and guardrails - secure boot, key management, network segmentation, update/OTA security, and more - and drive their adoption across engineering teams.\nRepresent Product Security in cross-functional and leadership discussions, translating technical risk into business and safety impact for the organization.\nQualifications\n 10+ years of experience in security engineering, including significant time in an architect, staff, or technical lead capacity.\nDeep expertise in embedded/IoT security, including secure boot, TPM/TEE, cryptographic key management, and hardened firmware/OS design.\nDemonstrated experience architecting security for complex, physical/cyber-physical systems (automotive, robotics, aerospace, industrial control, or similar).\nStrong track record of driving cross-functional technical strategy and influencing engineering leadership without direct authority.\nSolid understanding of network security, cloud security, and secure software development lifecycle practices.\nBonus Qualifications\n Experience securing autonomous vehicles, robotics platforms, or other safety-critical connected systems at scale.\nBackground in offensive security (red teaming, penetration testing) that informs strong architectural/defensive judgment.\nContributions to industry standards, published research, or conference talks in embedded/IoT/automotive security.","description_format":"text","description_chars":2525,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":10,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United
