Original job description

Zoox is building advanced self-driving hardware and software solutions. To attain the utmost efficiency that the system demands, we need you - an expert who understands both compute hardware architecture as well as the algorithms and middleware that run on it. Your contributions will be instrumental in finding & detecting performance-related trends and anomalies across the robot fleet.

The Software Performance team’s mission is to analyze, optimize and provide guidance to the software and hardware teams in order to meet expected system performance & stability targets.


As an automation engineer within the Software Performance team, you will build automated instrumentation, benchmarking and analysis for compute performance (CPU, GPU, latency and memory) into the software development and release process. Your work will catch performance regressions before software reaches the fleet, identify trends and anomalies across releases and hardware platforms, and put detailed performance data at the fingertips of performance experts for quick and efficient investigations.
