From the posting

As a Senior Electrical Low Voltage Design Engineer at Zoox, you will own the design and integration of wire harnesses that connect the controllers, sensors, and subsystems of our autonomous vehicles. Working within the Electrical Systems Team, you will take harnesses from concept through prototype builds and production launch, defining routing and 3D packaging, releasing 2D manufacturing drawings, and working directly with suppliers and the assembly plant. This is a hands-on role for an engineer who owns outcomes, works independently with suppliers, troubleshoots on the shop floor and inside prototype vehicles, and drives continuous improvement in how our harness team works.
