More about this role

Zoox is looking for a CAD/BOM Collaboration and Quality Technical Specialist to own the strategy, quality, and enablement of our CATIA design environment. This role sits at the intersection of engineering tools, training, and process — ensuring that every mechanical and vehicle design engineer at Zoox has the skills, standards, and support needed to produce high-quality CAD data efficiently.

You'll partner closely with Engineering, PLM/IT, and People Experience & Learning teams to build a scalable CATIA training program — from forecasting training needs across a growing engineering org, to coordinating instructor-led sessions, to shaping the long-term vision for self-paced and on-demand learning. Beyond training, you'll help define and uphold CAD quality standards that keep our design data clean, consistent, and release-ready.
