Sobre esta vaga de Senior Exterior Designer, Robot Industrial Design na Zoox
At Zoox, Robot Industrial Design defines how autonomous mobility is experienced through form, function, and interaction. We believe the future of mobility demands more than a new vehicle; it requires a fundamentally new product philosophy built around people, technology, and seamless integration. Our design team works from first principles to create products that are human-centered, technically sophisticated, and uncompromising in their purpose.
As a Senior Exterior Designer, Robot Industrial Design, you will play a key role in the creative development of Zoox’s robotaxi platforms and connected hardware ecosystem. You will contribute to a holistic design vision across vehicle design, CMF, and product integration, ensuring every element reflects clarity, precision, and intent. This role requires a designer who can operate equally at the conceptual and production levels, translating ambitious ideas into thoughtful, well-resolved design solutions from early vision through engineering execution, manufacturing realization, and real-world deployment.
You will work closely with other designers and cross-functional partners across engineering, software, product, brand, and manufacturing to deliver deeply integrated mobility experiences. The ideal candidate brings exceptional design judgment, a systems-minded approach, and a relentless focus on craftsmanship, innovation, and simplicity. Your work will directly shape the physical expression of the Zoox brand and help define the future relationship between people, autonomy, and everyday transportation.
