Engineering Manager, Robot Data Visualization

Foster City, CA Software – Software Systems /Full-time /Hybrid Zoox is developing state-of-the-art autonomous vehicle software for our purpose-built vehicle. The Robot Data Visualization team owns one of the most critical and widely used internal engineering platform suites  team builds and scales tools that span the entire spectrum of autonomous data visualization: from single-vehicle deep introspection tools (similar to Webviz or RViz) to fleet-level visualization platforms (similar to kepler.gl

or Deck.gl).These web applications serve as the primary lens into autonomous vehicle behavior, enabling engineers across perception, prediction, planning, and systems safety to analyze how our vehicles make decisions in real-time and post-mission scenarios.

We are seeking an Engineering Manager to lead and scale this multi-product engineering team. In this role, you will define product and technical strategy across both single-vehicle and fleet-level visualization domains, mentor high-performing engineers, and push browser execution limits to deliver fast, highly usable, and scalable tools.
