About the role
The Supply Chain, Quality & Reliability (SCQR) organization at Zoox builds and manages the external ecosystem and internal safeguards that allow Zoox to build and operate. We secure the third-party technologies, goods, and services Zoox depends on; define how Zoox engages with its global supplier and vendor base; embed reliability into the vehicle from early concept through long-term fleet operations; steward the Zoox Quality Policy and culture from the smallest supplier part to the rider experience; guarantee the health of the physical infrastructure that supports our fleet at scale; drive Zoox's sustainability strategy toward our Amazon Climate Pledge Net Zero 2040 commitment; manage third-party risk and supplier resilience; and safeguard Zoox's reputation through ethical, compliant, and strategic commercial engagement with the outside world. As Zoox scales toward commercial deployment, the volume and complexity of supplier, quality, reliability, infrastructure, and procurement data are growing rapidly across all of these areas, and we are investing in AI to help our team work smarter, faster, and more proactively across the full SCQR mandate.
Zoox is launching a dedicated AI & Automation initiative within SCQR, made up of 3-4 co-op interns working together as a centralized team that partners with our SCQR leaders and their teams to identify, build, and deploy AI-driven solutions across the organization. The AI & Automation Co-op Intern will join this pod and contribute to one of the most exciting AI adoption initiatives at Zoox building agentic systems, RAG pipelines, and MCP integrations against real SCQR data, and coaching the SCQR team to extend and maintain these capabilities long after the co-op term ends. The pod reports directly into SCQR leadership to ensure strategic focus, executive visibility, and access across the broader management team.
