Part-Time Student Worker – Hardware Software Integration Engineer
Team: Software Systems
Location: Hayward, CA
Commitment: Contract
Workplace Type: hybrid
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.
Responsibilities
- Execute and coordinate validation cycles for Zoox's Manufacturing test infrastructure with a focus on driving test infra stability
- Act as on-call support for the factory, representing the HWSI-FW team as you document, triage, characterize and report stability issues in order to unblock factory operations
Program Requirements
- Currently enrolled in a B.S. or M.S. in Automotive Engineering, Robotics, Systems Engineering, Mechatronics, or a relevant technical field
- Available to commit to a minimum three-month assignment
- Able to commit to 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
Qualifications
- Ability to understand and navigate complex technical systems
- Ability to grapple with ambiguity and collaborate with cross-functional teams
- Experience with Linux, Git, and Jira
Bonus Qualifications
- Experience with autonomous vehicles, robotics, or other safety-critical systems
- Experience with simulation environments and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing
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.
