Job description
Zoox is looking for a Staff Product Security Engineer to define and drive the long-term security strategy for our robots and fleet
Reporting into the Product Security organization, this person will own the vision for our robot security roadmap - from our current-generation vehicles to next-generation platforms - setting the technical direction that keeps our autonomous fleet resilient against real-world threats
This is a high-impact, high-visibility role for someone who wants to shape how security is architected into every layer of a physical, safety-critical robotic system
Define and own the multi-year security architecture and roadmap for Zoox’s robots and fleet, spanning embedded/firmware, in-vehicle networks, cloud, and supporting infrastructure
Partner with hardware, firmware, autonomy, and infrastructure engineering teams to embed security requirements into system design from the ground up, rather than bolting them on after the fact
Lead threat modeling and architecture reviews for new vehicle platforms and major feature launches, identifying and prioritizing systemic risk across the fleet
Set technical standards and guardrails - secure boot, key management, network segmentation, update/OTA security, and more - and drive their adoption across engineering teams
Represent Product Security in cross-functional and leadership discussions, translating technical risk into business and safety impact for the organization
Benefits
Paid parental leave
Affinity groups and sports clubs
Work from home opportunities
Health insurance
Our crew’s health and happiness is our first priority. We offer comprehensive health and mental health support, a wellbeing program, and unlimited and flexible paid time away
We invest in our crew—and their families—for the long term. That includes generous family planning support, caregiver support, and strong cash compensation with great equity upside
We look after our crew when they’re in the office too. Our famous food program is a great example, featuring a daily changing menu of local and sustainable dishes
There’s a busy calendar of social events at Zoox, with more sports teams than you can count. And, of course, playing with robots is an important part of the job description
Requirements
Demonstrated experience architecting security for complex, physical/cyber-physical systems (automotive, robotics, aerospace, industrial control, or similar)
Strong track record of driving cross-functional technical strategy and influencing engineering leadership without direct authority
Solid understanding of network security, cloud security, and secure software development lifecycle practices
10+ years of experience in security engineering, including significant time in an architect, staff, or technical lead capacity
Deep expertise in embedded/IoT security, including secure boot, TPM/TEE, cryptographic key management, and hardened firmware/OS design
Experience securing autonomous vehicles, robotics platforms, or other safety-critical connected systems at scale
Background in offensive security (red teaming, penetration testing) that informs strong architectural/defensive judgment
Contributions to industry standards, published research, or conference talks in embedded/IoT/automotive security
You do not need to match every listed expectation to apply for this position. Here at Zoox, we know that diverse perspectives foster the innovation we need to be successful, and we are committed to building a team that encompasses a variety of backgrounds, experiences, and skills
