About the job
Waymo is at the forefront of autonomous driving technology, dedicated to becoming the world's most trusted driver. Born from the Google Self-Driving Car Project in 2009, Waymo develops the Waymo Driver—The World's Most Experienced Driver™—to enhance mobility access and drastically reduce traffic-related fatalities. Our fully autonomous ride-hail service has completed over ten million rider-only trips, thanks to the Waymo Driver's extensive experience of autonomously navigating more than 100 million miles on public roads and executing tens of billions of miles in simulation across 15+ U. S. states.
The Software Engineering team is instrumental in crafting the intelligence behind Waymo's autonomous driving technology. Our sophisticated software empowers the Waymo Driver to interpret its surroundings, make critical decisions in real-time, and transport passengers safely to their destinations. We tackle complex technical challenges in fields such as robotics, perception, decision-making, and deep learning, working closely with hardware and systems engineers. If you are a software engineer or researcher with a passion for Level 4 autonomous driving, we invite you to apply.
Every mile logged by a Waymo vehicle generates a unique and invaluable dataset, which is crucial for refining our machine learning models and enhancing the safety and efficacy of the Waymo Driver. You will lead the architecture of a comprehensive data-driven self-improvement loop that integrates every autonomous mile into our machine learning processes. This involves collaboration with Waymo's infrastructure, modeling, and evaluation teams to continuously scale and improve the entire ML lifecycle.
In this role, you will report to our Distinguished Engineer, Foundation Models.
