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

Manage Autonomy Software program planning and execution.  Track and resolve cross-functional engineering dependencies.  Drive the adoption of standard engineering processes.  Participate actively in core technical discussions.

Responsibilities
  • Manage Autonomy Software program planning and execution.
  • Track and resolve cross-functional engineering dependencies.
  • Drive the adoption of standard engineering processes.
  • Enable engineering team with program milestones and processes
  • Participate in technical discussions and be a partner with engineering in delivering complex programs
Required Qualifications
  • Participate actively in core technical discussions.
  • Education: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, AI, Robotics, or a related field.
  • Technical Skills: Proficiency in Python and familiarity with modern AI developer tools (e.g., Claude, Cursor).
  • PM Tools: Experience utilizing Jira, Smartsheet, and Confluence for tracking and collaboration.
Bonus Qualifications
  • Soft Skills: Excellent communicator with a proactive, "can-do" approach to problem-solving.
  • Understanding of Autonomy stack
Program Requirements

  • Currently enrolled in a B.S. or M.S. program in a relevant discipline.

  • Available to commit to a minimum six-month assignment.

  • Able to commit a minimum of 20 hours per week (40 hours preferable).

  • 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 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.

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 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.
