The End-to-End (E2E) Feature and Homologation team brings systems engineering focus and discipline to Zoox mobility-as-a-service deployment and operations. We are systems engineers working with key business stakeholders to define and deliver remarkable product capabilities that span across Vehicle, Autonomy, and Operations segments. We partner with the systems teams from each domain by leveraging their deep technical knowledge, implementation expertise, and validation techniques to deliver a fully verified product capability. The result is E2E ownership of a world class mobility service. Systems Engineers are the champions of their feature domains, which cut across Vehicle, Autonomy, and Operations segments of the Zoox mobility service. You will be responsible for the entire product lifecycle for these feature domains and will forge strong relationships with internal stakeholders (Product, Safety, Operations, Legal, etc.) and segment-specific systems engineering departments to deliver: design solutions, systems engineering documentation, multi-quarter capability plans, verification plans, and debug support.
ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES
In This Role, You Will
- Work closely with Product, Safety, Operations, and Legal to define integrated product features. Use data and simulations to support the proposal. Deliver presentations that convey the business need, the problem statement, and the proposed solution.
- Lead the cross-functional team to deliver the integrated features, shepherding these features throughout the entire V cycle by working closely with implementation and validation teams.
- Create and maintain feature roadmaps spanning: Hardware, Software, Operations, IT, Safety, Manufacturing, and Validation Teams.
- Create and maintain high-quality and verifiable feature requirements, decomposing input from stakeholders to drive clarity and precision for systems specifications.
- Create and maintain MBSE models for new features and use the model to identify additional requirements and edge cases.
- Lead feature-level triage with cross-functional stakeholders for bugs or reported issues.
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS
- 10+ years of engineering work experience.
- Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Computer Science, or Physics.
- Demonstrated ability to design complex systems with multiple software and multiple hardware systems.
- Demonstrated ability to deliver strong technical documentation (context diagrams, requirement decomposition, presentations).
- Experience with systems simulation.
- Strong understanding of hardware and software development processes.
- Proven leadership, organization, and communication skills.
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
- MS or PhD in Engineering, Computer Science, or Physics.
- Experience designing fail-safe and fault-tolerant systems.
- Experience with software development and architecture principles.
- Experience with ECUs, electrical integration, and log analysis.
- Experience with requirements management tools (Polarion, DOORS, JAMA, etc).
- Experience with MBSE tools (Cameo, Magicdraw, Catia Magic, etc).
COMPENSATION
- Base Salary Range: $187,000 - $225,000 a year
There are three major components to compensation for this position: salary, Amazon Restricted Stock Units (RSUs), and Zoox Stock Appreciation Rights. A sign-on bonus may be offered as part of the compensation package. The listed range applies only to the base salary. Compensation will vary based on geographic location and level. Leveling, as well as positioning within a level, is determined by a range of factors, including, but not limited to, a candidate's relevant years of experience, domain knowledge, and interview performance. The salary range listed in this posting is representative of the range of levels Zoox is considering for this position. Zoox also offers a comprehensive package of benefits, including paid time off (e.g. sick leave, vacation, bereavement), unpaid time off, Zoox Stock Appreciation Rights, Amazon RSUs, health insurance, long-term care insurance, long-term and short-term disability insurance, and life insurance.
We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans.

Align your credentials to autonomous systems work
Zoox's Project Engineer roles frequently touch sensor integration, vehicle systems, and safety validation. Frame your degree and project experience around hardware development cycles or systems engineering, not just general mechanical or electrical work, before you apply.
Target teams building physical vehicle components
Zoox hires Project Engineers across propulsion, chassis, and robotics subsystems. Applying to a specific team rather than a generic opening signals genuine fit and gives your sponsorship conversation a concrete technical anchor from the first recruiter screen.
Confirm OPT STEM extension eligibility early
Automotive and autonomous vehicle engineering roles at Zoox frequently qualify for the 24-month STEM OPT extension. Verify your degree's CIP code with your DSO before signing an offer letter so there are no surprises when you file the extension with USCIS.
Use Migrate Mate to filter open Project Engineer roles at Zoox by visa type
Zoox posts roles across several sponsorship categories and not every opening is active at the same time. Migrate Mate lets you filter specifically for Zoox Project Engineer positions by the visa type you hold so you apply to the right openings.
Prepare a portfolio of hardware delivery milestones
Zoox's interview process for Project Engineers emphasizes ownership of physical deliverables. Document specific components or subsystems you took from requirement definition to production-ready validation, because that evidence directly supports both your technical fit and the specialty occupation standard USCIS applies.

Find Project Engineer at Zoox JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Does Zoox sponsor H-1B visas for Project Engineers?
Yes, Zoox sponsors H-1B visas for Project Engineers. The company participates in the annual H-1B lottery and also sponsors cap-exempt transfers for candidates already holding H-1B status with another employer. Because Project Engineer roles at Zoox require specialized knowledge in areas like autonomous systems or vehicle hardware, they generally satisfy USCIS's specialty occupation standard required for H-1B approval.
Which visa types does Zoox commonly use for Project Engineer roles?
Zoox sponsors a broad range of visa categories for Project Engineers, including H-1B, E-3 for Australian citizens, TN for Canadian and Mexican nationals, H-1B1 for Chilean and Singaporean nationals, and F-1 OPT and CPT for recent graduates. For candidates seeking permanent residence, Zoox also supports EB-2 and EB-3 Green Card pathways through the PERM labor certification process.
What qualifications does Zoox expect for Project Engineer roles?
Most Project Engineer openings at Zoox require a bachelor's degree or higher in mechanical, electrical, systems, or robotics engineering. Beyond the degree, Zoox prioritizes hands-on experience delivering physical hardware through full development cycles, familiarity with cross-functional coordination between software and hardware teams, and exposure to safety-critical or regulated product environments common in the automotive industry.
How do I apply for Project Engineer jobs at Zoox?
You can browse and apply for Project Engineer roles at Zoox through the Zoox careers page or through Migrate Mate, which filters Zoox openings by visa type so you can identify roles that match your work authorization. When applying, tailor your resume to highlight specific hardware deliverables and systems engineering experience, since Zoox's recruiting process for this role emphasizes demonstrated ownership of physical components from design through validation.
How do I plan my timeline if Zoox is sponsoring my visa for a Project Engineer role?
Timeline depends on your visa category. H-1B sponsorship through the lottery means you need a filed petition by April 1 for an October 1 start date, so offer negotiations ideally close by late February. E-3 and TN visas move faster, with consular appointments often available within a few weeks. F-1 OPT candidates should confirm their EAD card arrives before the intended start date, since USCIS processing can run 90 days or more.
