About the job
Waymo is at the forefront of autonomous driving technology, with a vision to become the most trusted driver globally. Originating from the Google Self-Driving Car Project in 2009, Waymo has committed to developing the Waymo Driver—The World's Most Experienced Driver™. This innovation aims to enhance mobility access and significantly reduce the fatalities caused by traffic accidents. The Waymo Driver powers our fully autonomous ride-hail service and is versatile enough to be integrated across various vehicle platforms and applications. Having completed over ten million rider-only trips, the Waymo Driver has autonomously navigated more than 100 million miles on public roads and accumulated tens of billions of miles in simulation across over 15 states in the U.S.
Our simulator is one of the most sophisticated virtual environments ever created, merging deterministic logic, physical dynamics, and cutting-edge Generative AI to serve as a training ground for the Waymo Driver. The Simulator Evaluation team confronts a profound data challenge: How do we mathematically verify that a virtual world is
