Job Description

Join Zoox, a company dedicated to developing a full-stack autonomous mobility solution for cities. As a Technical Program Manager in EE Systems, you will be responsible for owning the electrical and electrical-distribution program scope on vehicle programs executed jointly with external engineering partners. You will serve as the central EE coordination function for your program, manage cross-company engineering data exchange and release control, coordinate the full set of EE work packages, and build and hold the EE milestone plan against program gates and material required dates.

  • Assumer la responsabilité de la portée du programme électrique et de la distribution électrique sur les programmes de véhicules, en gérant le RASIC, le flux de changement et le plan de jalons.
  • Servir de fonction de coordination centrale pour l'électromécanique, en étant le point de contact unique pour toute la portée électrique et en possédant la portion électrique de l'ingénierie RASIC.
  • Gérer l'évaluation de l'impact et la gestion des changements liés au faisceau de faible tension et au système de distribution électrique, en effectuant une analyse des écarts.
  • Proficiency with risk analysis tools (FTA, FMEA) and root-cause methodologies (8D, Fishbone analysis, etc.)
  • Comfort operating without a settled org chart or a fully defined scope, the judgment to force decisions rather than wait for them, and the ability to communicate schedule and risk clearly to both engineers and executives
  • Experience managing external engineering partners, engineering service providers, or Tier 1 development partners across time zones — including negotiating scope boundaries and holding a partner to committed deliverables; approximately quarterly international travel and recurring early-morning Pacific calls
  • 10+ years in technical program management, systems engineering, or engineering management in automotive, with direct ownership of electrical distribution systems or vehicle electrical architecture scope
  • BS or MS in an engineering discipline, or equivalent experience
  • Proven track record in low voltage harness design and release, gained within an OEM or major automotive manufacturing environment
  • Working fluency in engineering change management and PLM workflows: change requests, change actions, EBOM release, and drawing release control
  • Knowledge of wire harness design and validation standards (USCAR, IPC/WHMA-A-620) and vehicle EMC standards (CISPR 25)
  • Hands-on familiarity with CATIA (V5 and V6) and data exchange between mismatched OEM and supplier CAD toolchains
