Designs, develops, integrates, deploys, and supports manufacturing end-of-line test solutions for ECU and vehicle bringup, validation, diagnostics, and troubleshooting. Builds Python-based test systems, user interfaces, communication middleware, and scalable validation scripts. Diagnoses electrical, firmware, software, networking, hardware, and infrastructure issues while collaborating with multidisciplinary engineering teams. Documents requirements, troubleshooting procedures, and maintenance specifications for current and future manufacturing lines.
We are inventors, builders, and doers, passionate and purposeful in the work we do. We have a once-in-a-century opportunity to reinvent personal transportation—and we need your help. As a Systems Integration Engineer for the Manufacturing Test and Diagnostics Engineering team, you will be part of the team that designs, develops, and executes systems and processes related to ECU and vehicle bringup, validation, testing, and troubleshooting. You will help build the next-generation infrastructure and process for testing electrical components, including hardware and firmware, on the Zoox vehicles in Manufacturing.
In this role, you will:
- Design, develop, integrate, deploy, and support test solutions at the robotaxi platform's manufacturing end-of-line (EOL).
- Build test solutions relying on Python (or other higher-level programming language) knowledge and experience with communication protocols (CAN, LIN, ETH).
- Build intuitive user interfaces using development skills such as React, Tkinter, or others that interface with middleware over API, TCP/UDP, Pub-Sub protocols, or other services.
- Serve as the first line of defense for all electrical and functional issues during testing and other EOL processes, including but not limited to software/firmware, harness, networking (CAN, LIN, Automotive and Standard Ethernet, GMSL, etc.), hardware, and infrastructure issues.
- Work closely with multidisciplinary engineers to collect and interpret the component and vehicle-level requirements and translate them into scalable system-level validation test scripts and test cases to be performed during the vehicle integration process.
- Design and implement novel test solutions for future manufacturing lines and next-generation diagnostic architectures to support higher-volume production.
- Document test solution hardware requirements and software requirements, along with necessary troubleshooting specifications and preventative maintenance.
Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree in a relevant area such as Electrical Engineering or Computer Science
- 4+ years of experience with hardware and software test integration via high-level programming languages such as Python
- Experience with network protocols (CAN, LIN, Ethernet, Automotive Ethernet, I2C, SPI, etc.) and building intuitive user interfaces via React or something similar
- Strong background in Linux and shell (bash) scripting and experience with Github or similar tools for software management
- Fundamental understanding of mechanical systems, sensors, and actuators as well as ECU communication
Bonus Qualifications
- Master’s degree in a relevant area such as Computer Science or Engineering
- Server design and full interface development (API, TCP/UDP, MQTT, Redis, other “pub-sub” communication, etc.)
- Background in creating, reading, and writing to tables in SQL database
- Networking layer management skills via IP assignments, VLANs, MAC addressing

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene
Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.
Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech
- Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
- Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
- Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
- Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
- Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
- Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
