Job description

About Zoox
Zoox is an autonomous ride-hailing company building the world's first purpose-built robotaxi - fully electric, bidirectional, with no steering wheel or driver's seat. Backed by Amazon and founded to make transportation safer, cleaner, and more accessible, Zoox designs its vehicles entirely around the rider. We're currently operating in Las Vegas and San Francisco, with Austin and Miami on the horizon, and testing underway across seven U.S. markets.

About Our Part-Time Student Worker Program
Zoox's part-time student worker program puts you at the center of one of the most ambitious challenges in transportation. You'll contribute to real projects, work alongside engineers and researchers pushing the boundaries of autonomous technology, and gain experience that goes well beyond the classroom. We're looking for students who bring strong academic foundations, curiosity that doesn't stop at coursework, and a drive to be part of something that matters.
 
Role Overview
This role is focused on Zoox's upcoming vehicle platforms, and your scope will include the first batch of these vehicles. You will collect data from our Manufacturing Testing team and perform statistical analysis of these results.
Responsibilities
  • Execute manufacturing test cases on vehicles
  • Collect data from vehicles as they are being assembled
  • Perform statistical analysis of data
  • Develop automated scripts to collect and analyze data
  • Use root cause analysis to identify failures or test issues
Program Requirements
  • Currently enrolled in a B.S. or M.S. in Computer Science, Mathematics, Statistics, Engineering or a related field
  • Available to commit to a minimum six-month assignment.
  • Able to commit to a minimum of 40 hours per week.
  • Able to work on-site at one of our office locations.
  • Must adhere with Zoox confidentiality requirements, including refraining from using or sharing proprietary company information outside of Zoox, such as in academic research, theses, publications, or presentations.
Qualifications
  • Strong programming skills in Python
  • Strong understanding of Mathematics/Statistics
  • Familiar with engineering analysis

We want to be transparent: this is not an internship. The Part-Time Student Worker Program is designed to complement your academic experience by providing meaningful, ongoing work alongside your studies. Rather than participating in a cohort-based program, you'll join a team directly and contribute to real projects with real impact. While the program does not include structured intern programming or a pathway to full-time employment, it offers valuable opportunities to learn, develop new skills, and gain hands-on experience in a professional environment.

Compensation for this role is $30/hour.

This is a contract position; employment will be through a vendor contracted with Zoox. The hourly rate is as posted, and benefits eligibility is determined by the vendor.


About Zoox
Zoox is developing the first ground-up, fully autonomous vehicle fleet and the supporting ecosystem required to bring this technology to market. Sitting at the intersection of robotics, machine learning, and design, Zoox aims to provide the next generation of mobility-as-a-service in urban environments. We're looking for top talent that shares our passion and wants to be part of a fast-moving and highly execution-oriented team.
