Software Engineering & Dev Full-Time

Software Engineer, Wireless Technologies: our view in 3 lines...

  • The Role:This role is for an experienced software engineer working on wireless technologies for embedded Linux systems and cellular connectivity.
  • The Person:The person will develop cellular connectivity features, integrate vendor firmware and stacks, define Linux software interfaces, prototype wireless platforms, investigate issues, and support test automation and continuous improvements.
  • Requirements:The ideal candidate has more than 10 years of experience in embedded Linux systems, cellular wireless stack software and firmware development, C/C++, Linux OS, Python or Shell scripting, LTE/5G protocol stacks, and Yocto Project.

About the role

As a Software Engineer on the Firmware team, you will own the software integration, performance, optimization, and debugging of our TCU (Telematics Control Unit). Managing a complex architecture that integrates third-party hardware with our autonomous vehicle platform, you will analyze diagnostics and log outputs across cellular networks, 4G/5G modems, internal software layers, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth. You will not only reactively troubleshoot complex field issues but also proactively architect and develop robust host-side connectivity software to handle cellular edge cases and vulnerabilities before they impact operations.

Your work will directly safeguard the safety, reliability, and scaling of the Zoox autonomous fleet. Robust, low-latency connectivity is fundamental to autonomous vehicle deployment, powering essential real-time cloud services, fleet management pipelines, and teleoperation capabilities. By ensuring our vehicles maintain seamless, high-performance connections under the most demanding real-world conditions, you will bridge the gap between cutting-edge hardware, cloud infrastructure, and test systems to enable Zoox to deliver the future of autonomous mobility.

You will leverage a profound understanding of how these stacks operate to define the architecture, utilize vendor interfaces, and debug complex cross-layer issues.
