About the job
Waymo is at the forefront of autonomous driving technology, aiming to become the most trusted driver worldwide. Originating from the Google Self-Driving Car Project in 2009, we have dedicated ourselves to developing the Waymo Driver, dubbed The World’s Most Experienced Driver™, to enhance mobility access and prevent the tragic loss of lives due to traffic accidents. The Waymo Driver operates our fully autonomous ride-hailing service and its capabilities extend across various vehicle platforms and use cases. With an impressive record of over ten million rider-only trips, our autonomous systems have driven more than 100 million miles on public roads and tens of billions of miles in simulation across 15+ U. S. states.
The Core Platform team plays a pivotal role in managing software and infrastructure for several components of Waymo's self-driving system. Our responsibilities span from low-level system software to high-bandwidth data logging, inter-process communication (IPC), performance analysis, full-system debugging, system telemetry, and ensuring system reliability. Collaboration with Hardware, Compute, Sensor, Perception, Behavior, and Machine Learning teams is essential as we innovate the most efficient and low-latency self-driving solutions in the industry.
