Pietro Leoni

Senior Creative Technologist @Zoox

San Francisco, CA, US

At Zoox, I work at the intersection of design and engineering, turning early concepts in Figma into high-fidelity prototypes and applications for autonomous mobility. I collaborate closely with both designers and engineers, bridging software, embedded systems, and hardware integration.A key focus is how the vehicle communicates its intent—through coordinated light, sound, and motion that adapt to riders and the environment. I design multimodal feedback systems and AI-powered assistants that connect user interfaces with backend services and on-board systems.I also develop internal tools that accelerate design and operations, from automated prototyping and workflow management to real-time data visualization. The work blends creative exploration with technical depth, shaping how people and technology interact in a new era of mobility.
