AI Summary

Zoox is seeking a Staff or Senior Staff Machine Learning Engineer to serve as technical lead and architect for the Collision Avoidance System (CAS), an independent safety layer that monitors for imminent collisions and reacts within milliseconds. The role owns CAS perception end-to-end, combining classical geometric methods with learned models to turn lidar, radar, and camera data into real-time obstacle detection, tracking, and collision-risk estimates, shipped in production safety-critical C++. It also involves setting the multi-release technical roadmap and coordinating across perception, planning, validation, and sensor teams.
