Senior Automation & Middleware Engineer

We are looking for a software engineer to help scale development productivity, automation, observability, and system diagnostics for embedded and connected device platforms for Zoox’s Telematics and Infotainment firmware team. This role sits at the intersection of embedded Linux development, middleware integration, automation infrastructure, developer tooling, and AI-assisted engineering workflows. The ideal candidate is comfortable working across Linux user space, middleware, automation frameworks, CI/CD systems, telemetry pipelines, and system-level debugging to improve developer velocity and product quality. This is not a traditional QA/SDET role. We are looking for engineers who combine strong software engineering fundamentals with practical automation, tooling, and systems debugging experience in embedded environments. What Success Looks Like: Improves engineering productivity through automation, tooling, and AI-assisted workflows Reduces debugging and validation turnaround time through better diagnostics and observability Enables scalable and reliable automation across multiple device platforms Helps engineering teams move faster by simplifying development, testing, and troubleshooting workflows Contributes both technically and operationally across middleware, tooling, automation, and system integration areas
