About the job
Waymo is a pioneering autonomous driving technology company dedicated to becoming the world's most trusted driver. Originating from the Google Self-Driving Car Project in 2009, our focus has been on developing the Waymo Driver—The World’s Most Experienced Driver™. Our mission is to enhance mobility access while saving lives that are currently lost to traffic accidents. The Waymo Driver facilitates our fully autonomous ride-hail service and is adaptable to a variety of vehicle platforms and product use cases. To date, we have completed over ten million rider-only trips, driven over 100 million miles on public roads, and performed tens of billions of miles in simulation across more than 15 U. S. states.
The Waymo ML Frameworks & Efficiency team collaborates with both Research and Production teams to create core models in Perception and Planning essential to our autonomous driving software. We empower our partners by providing optimal frameworks throughout the model development lifecycle, encompassing both pre-training and post-training phases. Our frameworks are designed to efficiently scale models while addressing the unique challenges of machine learning in autonomous driving.
We invite skilled engineers with expertise in machine learning systems to join us in refining and enhancing pre-trained models for deployment within the Waymo Driver and future products. You will collaborate with researchers and modeling engineers across the organization to tackle the complexities of large-scale reinforcement learning (RL), developing systems capable of scaling across various computational, data, and environmental contexts to enhance model intelligence and interpret human driving behaviors.
