Description
As Senior Manager of R&D Vehicle Production, you will run the prototype vehicle lines at our factory in Fremont, CA. Your team is responsible for building and testing R&D vehicles for mileage collection and software validation, plus early builds of our next-generation ground-up vehicles. You will own assembly, diagnostics, testing, and End-of-Line (EOL), and help carry new vehicles into serial production.
Prototype builds surface new hardware and software issues every day. Success in this role depends on working closely with hardware and software engineering teams to resolve them fast, so you can meet production goals. You will set priorities, hold owners accountable, and escalate decisively when an issue blocks the build.
Reporting to the Senior Director of Manufacturing Engineering and General Assembly, you will be a key leader in Zoox Manufacturing Operations. You will partner closely with Vehicle Development, Software, Manufacturing Engineering, Supply Chain, Quality, and the teams operating our test fleet.
