Description

Driver Airbag & Steering Wheel System Engineer Onsite in Foster City, CA | 5 days in office Travel within the Bay Area is required Imagine a vehicle that drives in both directions, is fully symmetrical, and seats passengers in a carriage-style layout—with front-row occupants rearward-facing. Now design a restraint system that protects all occupants to NCAP 5-star performance levels in that environment. In this role, you will own the design, integration, release, and launch. This is a module role—you will be responsible for delivering a complete, system-level solution, ensuring driver airbags, steering wheel interfaces, and vehicle architecture work together to meet ergonomics, electronics, safety, packaging, and manufacturing targets. Zoox is redefining vehicle safety for autonomous mobility. For this job, you will be working on a drivable concept of the autonomous vehicle. Responsibilities: ● Lead the integration of Driver airbag, steering wheel, Horn & Steering wheel switches, ensuring alignment across packaging, safety, and manufacturing constraints. ● Drive cross-functional alignment with Interiors, Steering, Electronics, Safety, and Manufacturing teams to deliver a cohesive system solution. ● Define and manage interfaces between airbag module, steering wheel switches, clockspring, and column electronics, ensuring robust electrical and mechanical integration. Develop Sub System technical specification for all components in the module. ● Use CATIA 3DEXPERIENCE (3DX) to drive packaging, integration, and release of components and assemblies. ● Manage engineering change control, issue tracking, and program execution through JIRA (or equivalent tools). ● Own system-level trade-offs across performance, cost, manufacturability, and serviceability. ● Lead validation strategy and execution for driver airbag & steering wheel, including DVP&R, test planning, and data-driven decision making. ● Drive issue resolution across design, validation, and manufacturing phases, including supplier escalation when required. ● Ensure readiness for production through DFMEA, PFMEA support, and launch execution. Qualifications: ● BS/MS in Mechanical Engineering or related field. ● 4+ years of experience in automotive restraint systems, with direct ownership of driver airbag and/or steering wheel systems. ● Strong experience with steering wheel integration, airbag modules, and associated components (clockspring, switches, column interfaces). ● Working knowledge of electronics integration (switches, harnessing, signal interfaces) within steering systems. ● Proven experience using CATIA 3DEXPERIENCE (3DX) for design, packaging, and release. ● Experience with JIRA (or similar tools) for issue tracking, change management, and program execution. ● Proven experience working with Tier 1 suppliers (e.g., Autoliv, ZF, Joyson, Toyoda Gosei) and managing technical deliverables. ● Strong understanding of DFMEA, DVP&R, and full vehicle development lifecycle. ● Experience with GD&T, tolerance stack-ups, and Design for Manufacturing (DFM). ● Demonstrated ability to lead cross-functional programs and drive decisions under ambiguity.
