The Path Forward Return to Work program at Zoox is a 16-week paid returnship for experienced professionals returning to the workforce. The program is open to individuals who have at least 5 years of professional experience and have been out of the paid workforce for at least two years to focus on caregiving of any kind. If you meet these criteria, we welcome you to apply.

At Zoox, we are excited to be part of the Path Forward program because we appreciate the skills you can offer, the perspective you provide, and the contributions you will make. This program offers you a chance to revamp your skills, gain new experience, and make connections with others transitioning back to the workforce. It also offers support through Path Forward, a nonprofit organization on a mission to empower people who’ve been focused on caregiving to transition back to the paid workforce.

Our Firmware team is responsible for embedded software development, extensions, and maintenance for multiple embedded platforms for the Zoox vehicle. This encompasses “car-like” driving functions, newer “robot-like” user interactions and functions, foundational board development, and more.

We are looking for people who are passionate about diving deep into technical problems and creating robust and reusable software. We are looking broadly for contributions ranging from developing features; essential software infrastructure; and extensive, insightful automated verification and validation.
