  1. Design a system to handle real-time sensor fusion for a fleet of 1000 Zoox autonomous vehicles. Consider latency, data volume, and redundancy. How would you ensure data integrity during transmission?

    Software EngineerSystem DesignTests: Evaluates the candidate's ability to design complex, distributed systems with real-time constraints and data integrity considerations.

  2. Write a Python function to detect and log potential sensor anomalies (e.g., sudden drop in lidar return, inconsistent camera feed) in a simulated Zoox vehicle's sensor data stream. Assume data is a list of dictionaries, each representing a sensor reading with a timestamp and value.

    Software EngineerCoding & ReasoningTests: Tests coding proficiency, logical thinking, and the ability to handle structured data for anomaly detection.

  3. A Zoox vehicle unexpectedly braked hard on a city street, causing a minor rear-end collision. Debug the potential root cause in the vehicle's decision-making module. Walk through your debugging process, identifying specific code sections or logic paths you would examine.

    Software EngineerDebuggingTests: Assesses debugging skills, systematic problem-solving, and understanding of autonomous driving logic.

  4. Given a scenario where a Zoox vehicle needs to navigate a complex intersection with unprotected left turns and oncoming traffic, how would you architect the perception stack to ensure safety and efficiency?

    Software EngineerSystem DesignTests: Examines system design capabilities for critical safety systems in autonomous vehicles, focusing on perception.

  5. You are responsible for the software managing the charging infrastructure for Zoox's fleet. Design a system that optimizes charging schedules based on vehicle availability, grid load, and ride demand to minimize costs and maximize fleet uptime.

    Software EngineerSystem DesignTests: Evaluates system design for a large-scale operational infrastructure, considering optimization and resource management.

  6. Implement a function in C++ that takes a 2D array representing a local occupancy grid map and returns the shortest path for a Zoox vehicle to a target destination, avoiding obstacles. Consider algorithms like A* or Dijkstra.

    Software EngineerCoding & ReasoningTests: Tests algorithm implementation skills, particularly pathfinding in a constrained environment.
