The posting

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.

In this role, you will:

  • Support the development of design concepts, form language, and detailed solutions for Zoox’s robotaxi platforms and connected hardware.
  • Translate the broader pool design vision into compelling, cohesive design solutions across vehicle design.
  • Create compelling digital and physical deliverables, including sketches, renderings, CAD, models, and presentations, to clearly communicate design concepts and decisions.
  • Drive design projects from early concept through production, maintaining design intent and quality throughout development.
  • Challenge assumptions and explore innovative solutions unconstrained by traditional automotive norms to deliver a unique Zoox experience.
  • Balance creative ambition with technical feasibility, ensuring design quality, craftsmanship, and attention to detail through engineering and manufacturing integration.

Qualifications

  • 8+ years of experience in automotive or relevant industrial design environments.
  • Proven track record delivering production vehicles and/or complex hardware products from concept through launch.
  • Exceptional design skills, with a strong foundation in form development, proportion, surface quality, and design detailing.
  • Experience working across multiple phases of product development, from conceptual exploration through engineering integration and production.
  • Strong understanding of materials, manufacturing processes, and engineering constraints, with the ability to translate them into thoughtful design solutions.
  • Experience collaborating with multidisciplinary teams and navigating complex cross-functional development environments.

Bonus Qualifications

  • Exceptional visual communication, presentation, and storytelling skills, with the ability to clearly articulate design intent and rationale.
  • A deep passion for design craft, innovation, and creating meaningful, future-forward products.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
