The Path Forward Return-to-Work program at Zoox is a 16-week paid returnship for experienced professionals returning to the workforce. The program is open to individuals who have at least five years of professional experience and have been out of the paid workforce for at least two years to focus on caregiving of any kind. If you meet these criteria, we welcome you to apply.

Zoox is excited to welcome returners because we appreciate the skills you can offer, the perspective you provide, and the contributions you will make. This program offers you a chance to revamp your skills, gain new experience, and make connections with others transitioning back to the workforce. It also offers support through Path Forward, a non-profit organization on a mission to empower people who’ve been focused on caregiving to transition back to the paid workforce. 

Zoox is building autonomous mobility from the ground up. We believe that being good stewards of the world involves shared transportation. Zoox will provide mobility-as-a-service in dense urban environments. We will handle the driving, charging, maintenance, and upgrades for our fleet of vehicles. The rider will simply pay for the service. 

Our success depends on tight collaboration between software, hardware and operations. The key to this is our small, technical product management team.

We are looking for a Product Manager to join us. At Zoox, technical product managers work closely with teams throughout the organization. Embedded within teams, we work to improve our driving behavior, our testing (real driving and simulated) and our service readiness.
