As a systems engineer at Zoox, you will be working with members of the functional safety and system design teams to develop and deploy systems that enable and support autonomous driving. You are responsible for ensuring these systems are developed within a process that results in end-to-end traceability of both functional safety targets and product requirements.
The Trajectory Management Systems Engineer is responsible for envisioning, creating, and validating the framework that guarantees that each new trajectory proposal will continue the mission, and be as safe as possible. This means: cultivating a deep understanding of vehicle dynamics and trajectory creation, creating a robust method of defining trajectory safety, understanding interdisciplinary interactions and tradeoffs, and finally verifying and validating your work products.
Responsibilities
Develop requirements for the trajectory management and validation algorithms
Conduct vehicle dynamics analysis and simulation to assess interactions and ensure consistency between trajectory planning and trajectory execution
Develop validation methods, tools and solutions based on real world data and simulation
Develop and execute test plans to support verification and validation of requirements
Qualifications
M.S. or higher degree in Controls, Robotics, or Systems Engineering
2+ years experience with vehicle dynamics, closed loop control system, simulation, path planning
Analytical skills and experience with scripting or programming language such as Python
Development of tools for processing large datasets
Collaborative team player with strong written and in-person communication skills
Bonus Qualifications
Programming skills in C++ and Python
Experience with safety-critical systems
Expertise with automotive control or trajectory planning systems
Experience using requirements management tools such as Polarion, DOORS or Jama
Familiarity with ISO 21448 and ISO 26262
