Autonomy Test Specialist interview (Zoox) – what should I focus on?

Hey everyone,

I’ve got an interview coming up with Zoox for an Autonomy Test Specialist role, and the work seems heavily around PUDO/depot scenarios, simulation scene creation, vehicle testing, and first-pass triage.

From the JD, it looks like a mix of simulation + on-road testing + debugging issues across perception/planning/control.

For anyone in AV testing — what kind of questions should I expect in this kind of role?

Do they usually dive into scenario design, triage/debugging logs, or more system-level understanding of autonomy stacks?

Also, how detailed do they expect you to go when explaining test workflows or issue investigation?

Would really appreciate any insights. Thanks!
