He was a student at a design school (I believe it was the Art Center [1] in Pasadena). Incredibly talented at designing cars and also an insane work ethic. 99% sure he was on the self driving car project as an industrial designer but he never confirmed. He said they came to his school to find someone. For a normal job you can go to Google, but from what I've heard Google X comes to you. They know who they want.
