Zoox is looking for a Software Engineer intern 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 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 using a tech stack consisting of Cursor, GitHub, Bazel, ClickHouse and OpenTelemetry.
Some examples of tools we’ve developed include:
- Controller Area Network (CAN) client and data logger
- Python library for the extraction, manipulation and analysis of vehicle data
- Command and control for a variety of hardware, including power supply units (PSUs), DAQs, Electronic Loads and Cellular Network Simulators
- Tester Health Diagnostics, Tester Autorecovery and a Tester Interface front-end and backend
- Branch-based CI/CD Infrastructure, Test Artifact Uploading and Test Artifact Post-processing and Analysis
- Event logging and Observability for Zoox Test Framework
ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES
In this role, you will:
- Develop software for an automated validation framework, supporting continuous integration (CI) via smoke, sanity, nightly, weekly pipelines
- Research, design, develop, rollout, and maintain software tools and test framework for development and validation
- Integrate tester software systems with server infrastructure, including networking (CAN, wifi, cellular, WIFI, NFC, etc), hardware instruments (DAQs, PSUs), protocol-level simulator/spoofer hardware, etc.
- Propose tool and/or feature ideas to the team to improve processes
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS
- BS in relevant engineering discipline and 1+ years of relevant work experience
- HIL and/or SIL Test Frameworks
- Object-oriented programming experience (Python or C++ preferred)
- Experience building cross-platform software with source control (Git)
- Strong interpersonal and communication skills
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
- CI and build systems (e.g. Bamboo, Buildkite, etc.)
- Python libraries (e.g. pybind, pytest, pandas, python-can, plotly, matplotlib, etc.)
- Communication protocols (e.g. CAN, LIN, pub/sub)
- ClickHouse, OpenSearch, Grafana, Databricks, etc. Databases and Observability Platforms
COMPENSATION
- Base Salary Range: $141,000 - $188,000 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.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding E-3 Visa Sponsorship as an Infrastructure Automation Engineer
Translate your Australian credentials for U.S. recruiters
Frame your experience in U.S.-standard terminology: Terraform, Ansible, Kubernetes, and CI/CD toolchains map cleanly to specialty occupation criteria. A three-year Australian bachelor's degree is generally accepted as equivalent to a U.S. four-year degree for E-3 purposes.
Target employers with active LCA filing history
Search the DOL's OFLC disclosure data for companies that have filed Labor Condition Applications for infrastructure or DevOps roles. Prior LCA activity signals a hiring team that already understands the E-3 process and won't stall at the sponsorship conversation.
Search Migrate Mate for E-3 sponsorship roles
Migrate Mate filters Infrastructure Automation Engineer jobs by employers willing to sponsor the E-3 visa, so you're not cold-applying to companies that have never sponsored an Australian. It's built specifically for this visa category, not adapted from a general job board.
Clarify the LCA timeline before signing an offer
The employer must file the LCA with DOL before your visa application can proceed. Standard DOL processing runs around seven business days. Confirm your start date accounts for this step so there's no gap between your acceptance and your consulate appointment.
Use Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service for end-to-end paperwork
Once you have an offer, Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service handles your LCA submission, DS-160, and consulate preparation. For infrastructure roles where your job duties must precisely match the specialty occupation definition, having expert preparation reduces the risk of a 221(g) administrative hold.
Carry role-specific documentation to your consulate interview
Bring your employment offer letter, certified LCA, degree certificate, and any cloud certifications such as AWS or Azure credentials. Consular officers assessing specialty occupation for automation roles respond well to evidence that your duties require a specific technical degree field, not just general IT experience.

Find Infrastructure Automation Engineer JobsInfrastructure Automation Engineer E-3 Visa: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find Infrastructure Automation Engineer jobs that offer E-3 sponsorship?
Use Migrate Mate to search Infrastructure Automation Engineer roles filtered by E-3 visa sponsorship. Most general job boards don't distinguish between employers willing to sponsor Australians and those that only hire U.S. citizens or H-1B holders. Migrate Mate is built specifically for this visa category, so every result reflects an employer who can support the E-3 process.
How much does it cost to get an E-3 visa?
Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service covers the entire process for $499, including the Labor Condition Application, visa document preparation, and consulate appointment guidance. Traditional immigration lawyers charge $2,000–$5,000+ for the same work. The E-3 has less paperwork than most work visas, so paying thousands for legal help is usually unnecessary.
Does an Infrastructure Automation Engineer role qualify as a specialty occupation for the E-3?
Yes, provided the position requires a bachelor's degree or higher in a directly related field such as computer science, information systems, or software engineering. Roles focused on Terraform, Ansible, Kubernetes, or cloud platform automation consistently meet the specialty occupation standard. Generic IT administrator titles that accept any degree field are harder to support, so the job description wording matters.
How does the E-3 compare to the H-1B for Infrastructure Automation Engineers?
The E-3 has no annual lottery and no numerical cap, so you can apply and receive approval any time of year. The H-1B is subject to an 85,000-slot annual cap with a randomised lottery, meaning most applicants aren't selected regardless of qualifications. For Australian infrastructure engineers, the E-3 is a direct path to a U.S. role without the lottery uncertainty that blocks most H-1B candidates.
What happens to my E-3 status if I change employers or move to a new infrastructure role?
Each E-3 is tied to a specific employer and job. If you change companies or your duties change substantially, your new employer must file a fresh LCA and you'll need a new E-3 visa, which typically requires returning to an Australian consulate. You can begin working for the new employer once the consulate issues the new visa, so planning the transition timeline in advance is essential.
