About this role

## Overview Zoox is building the world’s most advanced self-driving hardware and software solution. To meet the efficiency demands of such a system, we need expert fine-tuning across both compute hardware architecture and the algorithms/middleware that run on it—maximizing throughput at optimal power levels. The **Software Performance** team keeps the main onboard computer healthy and performant so our on-bot autonomy software meets its latency targets while also supporting safety goals. We efficiently allocate onboard compute resources (**CPU/GPU/Memory/accelerators**) to minimize contention and ensure the autonomy stack runs harmoniously. ## Role As the **Onboard Execution** team leader within the Performance team, you will lead a highly specialized group of software performance engineers in aggressively optimizing on-bot software runtime. This is a high-impact role at the intersection of **ML Platform, Core, and Autonomy Software**, where efficient compute utilization is a central organizational priority.
