About the job
Waymo is at the forefront of autonomous driving technology, aspiring to become the world's most reliable driver. Originating as the Google Self-Driving Car Project in 2009, we are dedicated to developing the Waymo Driver—The World’s Most Experienced Driver™—to enhance mobility access while significantly reducing traffic-related fatalities. With over ten million rider-only trips facilitated by our technology, the Waymo Driver has autonomously navigated more than 100 million miles on public roads and tens of billions in simulation across more than 15 states in the U. S.
Our Release Evaluation organization is committed to ensuring each iteration of the Waymo Driver is safe for public deployment. We construct automated pipelines to identify rare and exceptional scenarios in autonomous driving, effectively searching for critical insights under limited time and resource constraints. Within Release Evaluation, the Sampling and Efficiency team employs advanced importance sampling techniques combined with machine learning to maximize the statistical efficiency of our discovery pipelines.
