Job description

About Zoox

Zoox is an autonomous ridehailing 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 focuses on building a data-driven safety risk model that quantifies and improves autonomous-vehicle driving performance, along with the data analysis work that supports it. The student will work within the Safety Strategy & Operations team on a 6-month project spanning model development, empirical experimentation, and large-scale driving/simulation data analysis.
Responsibilities
  • Support designing, building, and iterating on a data-driven safety risk model that quantifies driving performance and surfaces safety-relevant signals across the autonomy stack
  • Assist developing and maintaining dataset management pipelines — curation, labeling, versioning, and quality checks — that feed the risk model and downstream analyses
  • Support defining and running empirical experiments that “show it with data” rather than relying on assumptions
Required Qualifications
  • Assist analyzing large-scale driving and simulation datasets to identify trends, edge cases, and opportunities to improve autonomy performance
  • Currently pursuing a B.S. or M.S. in a relevant quantitative field (Engineering, Computer Science, Statistics, Physics, or similar)
  • Strong programming skills in Python
  • Help work through ambiguous, open-ended problems with a researcher’s mindset and a bias toward rapid iteration
  • Solid data manipulation understanding (e.g., SQL, PySpark, Scala)
  • Solid foundation in statistics, machine learning, and risk or reliability modeling
  • Help communicate complex results, trade-offs, and uncertainty clearly to the team and stakeholders
  • Comfort operating independently under high uncertainty on open-ended problems
Bonus Qualifications
  • Excellent written and verbal communication; able to convey complexity and ambiguity clearly
  • Experience with safety, reliability, or risk modeling (e.g., survival analysis, Bayesian methods, causal inference)
  • Experience with large-scale dataset management, data pipelines, or MLOps tooling
  • Strong teamwork and collaboration skills
  • Background in autonomous vehicles, robotics, or a related quantitative discipline
  • Prior research experience taking ambiguous, end-to-end problems from zero to a result, independently
Program Requirements
  • Genuine interest in autonomous vehicles and Zoox’s mission
  • Currently enrolled in a B.S. or M.S. program in a relevant discipline.
  • Available to commit to a minimum three-month assignment.
  • Able to commit a minimum of 20 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.
We want to be transparent: this is not an internship. The Contract 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.

We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses and identifying potential inconsistencies or verification signals in application materials based on available information.
