Summary this job with AI
Zoox is transforming mobility with fully autonomous, electric vehicles designed from the ground up for a driverless future. Our mission is to make transportation safer, more sustainable, and accessible to everyone. At Zoox, innovation, collaboration, and a bold vision for the future drive everything we do.
Zoox’s internship program offers hands-on experience with cutting-edge technology, mentorship from some of the industry’s brightest minds, and the opportunity to make meaningful contributions to real projects. We seek interns who demonstrate strong academic performance, engagement beyond the classroom, intellectual curiosity, and a genuine interest in Zoox’s mission.
As an intern at Zoox, you’ll be working alongside those that architect, design and develop our state of art hardware and signal processing systems for enabling autonomous mobility. At Zoox, you’ll collaborate with a team of world class engineers with diverse backgrounds in areas such as AI and ML, robotics, and simulation. You’ll master new technologies while working on code, algorithm and research in your area so expertise to create and refine the key systems that move Zoox forward.
As an intern in the DSP team you will be working on design and implementation of signal processing and machine learning algorithms related to radars, depth cameras, lidars and audio subsystems. We are looking for curious and highly mathematical minds to work with us.
Program Requirements
- Currently pursuing a B.S., M.S., or other advanced degree in a relevant engineering field.
- Plan to return to school after completing the internship.
- Maintain good academic standing.
- Available to commit to either a 12-week internship (beginning in May or June 2026), or a 6-month co-op.

- Ability to bring your best can-do attitude daily while solving hard problems with constraints
Bonus Qualifications
- Experience with Radar Signal Processing and understanding of the radar pipeline (ADC data, FFT, Range-Doppler maps, CFAR, angle-of-arrival estimation).
- Experience with processing 4D radar data or raw sensor data.
- HW and SW experience or research related to radar processing and/or radar perception
- Experience with machine learning techniques such as deep neural nets (DNN, CNN, LSTM-RNN, LLMs, VLMs, Transformers) and traditional statistical modeling/feature extraction techniques (GMM, HMM, NMF / spectrograms etc.)
Compensation:
The monthly salary range for this position is $6,500 to $9,500. Compensation will vary based on geographic location and level of education. Additional benefits may include medical insurance, and a housing stipend (relocation assistance will be offered based on eligibility).
