About the job

Waymo is at the forefront of autonomous driving technology, dedicated to becoming the most trusted driver globally. Originating from the Google Self-Driving Car Project in 2009, our primary goal has been to develop the Waymo Driver—The World’s Most Experienced Driver™. Our innovations aim to enhance mobility access while saving countless lives lost to traffic accidents.

Your Role:

  • Lead the technical strategy for the Simulator’s issue response lifecycle, encompassing automated detection, root cause analysis, and the deployment of both temporary and permanent software solutions to prevent future regressions.
  • Direct complex, cross-functional projects to enhance automated issue detection by integrating new data sources and signals, thus reducing the time from an in-field event to mitigation deployment.
  • Work closely with Data Science, Systems Engineering, and operations teams to improve technical processes and tools, accelerating the deployment and validation of solutions for identified issues.
  • Mentor mid-level and junior engineers on sophisticated technical challenges, best practices in system architecture, and high-quality software development, serving as a technical force multiplier.
