About the role

Zoox seeks a Staff Product Security Engineer to define and drive the long-term security strategy for robots and fleet, owning the vision for the robot security roadmap across current and next-generation platforms, and embedding security into every layer of a physical, safety-critical robotic system.

Responsibilities

  • 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.

Qualifications

  • 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.
  • 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.
