Job Description

Zoox is looking for a Software Engineer to join our Firmware Tools team. In this role, you will write software to help integrate internal and external tools for automated firmware prototyping, development, testing and integration. This role requires someone passionate about automation using both existing test frameworks, as well as developing new ones. The ideal candidate has proven experience in developing cross-platform software with continuous integration and deployment techniques in a team environment.

About the Team

The Firmware Tools team designs and develops automated processes and tools to support on-vehicle firmware development and testing. Many projects are short term, allowing each developer to follow projects through their full life cycles while still jumping into a multitude of opportunities. On the Firmware Tools team, we utilize a variety of Python libraries, as well as C++. Many of our tools utilize multiprocessing and multithreading to provide performant software to test firmware using HIL and SIL test frameworks. Additionally, we support testing of on-vehicle communications, including CAN, LIN and pub/sub protocols.

Some examples of tools we’ve developed include:

- Controller Area Network (CAN) client and data logger

- CAN Over Ethernet Transport library

- Python library for the data extraction, manipulation, and analysis of vehicle data

- Python DAQ interface library for use in HIL testing

- Command and Control for a variety of Programmable Power Supply Units (PSUs)

- UDS client

Requirements

Develop software for an automated validation framework, supporting continuous integration and nightly tests
Research, design, develop, and maintain software tools for development and validation
Present tool ideas and/or features to the team to improve processes
Integrate tester software systems with server infrastructure
Design and implement automated test framework optimizations

Qualifications

BS in computer science, computer engineering, or a similar discipline
2+ years of relevant work experience
Object-oriented programming experience (Python or C++ preferred)
Experience building cross-platform software with source control (Git)
Strong interpersonal and communication skills
Positive attitude, team player, and ability to quickly adapt to changes
