You will participate regularly in in-vehicle testing missions where you will see these new features behaving in the real world. Following these missions, you will help triage and root cause issues seen during testing, analyze test results to ensure existing functionality does not regress from release to release, and update our testing processes to ensure QA can continue scaling efficiently with future Zoox milestones.
