  • Define component integration plans (from bring-up to advanced functions), then design and execute comprehensive test plans spanning initial hardware bring-up through large-scale operational fleet deployment
  • Dig into challenging log reviews and cross-functional system integration mysteries to identify root causes and to propose solutions, balancing long-term goals with near-term operational needs
  • Leverage your substantial prior expertise in connectivity software and protocols (cellular modem cross-layers, WiFi MAC/PHY) to provide insights and feedback that can improve the performance and reliability of our systems
  • Review (and if necessary, adjust or author) the Software, Firmware, and integration design specifications and requirements on Zoox’s connectivity systems

  • Expertise in LTE/5G Protocol Stacks (NAS, PDCP, RRC, RLC, MAC, PHY)
  • Ability to use cellular network analysis tools (e.g., QXDM, Shannon Tools, Wireshark) and develop log frameworks to analyze wireless communication behavior and automate them.
  • Hands-on experience configuring/programming wireless test platforms (UXM, CMX500, SMBv100, Spirent) and testing/troubleshooting modem development boards and prototypes.
