Qualifications

Lead the design and development of state-of-the-art Deep Learning and machine learning models to optimize human-led triaging processes and facilitate automation in high-volume workflows. Continuously monitor and integrate best practices from Alphabet and the wider industry to establish a Reinforcement Learning system based on human preference data collection and evaluation methodologies. Enhance User Feedback Analysis by collaborating effectively with product and business teams to create and implement tools for multi-label classifications, sentiment analysis, comment summarization, root cause analysis, and trend analysis of rider feedback. Manage the production and fine-tuning of machine learning models aimed at evaluating Waymo’s extensive fleet of vehicles.

About the job

Waymo, a pioneer in autonomous driving technology, is dedicated to becoming the world’s most trusted driver. Since its inception as the Google Self-Driving Car Project in 2009, Waymo has been at the forefront of innovation, developing the Waymo Driver—The World’s Most Experienced Driver™—to enhance mobility while significantly reducing the number of lives lost in traffic accidents. The Waymo Driver powers our fully autonomous ride-hailing service and is adaptable to various vehicle platforms and applications. With over ten million rider-only trips completed, fueled by our experience of autonomously driving over 100 million miles on public roads and tens of billions of miles in simulation across more than 15 U. S. states, we are transforming transportation.

The Driver Understanding and Evaluation (DUE) team at Waymo is focused on creating comprehensive metrics to evaluate the Waymo Driver’s behavior in real-world scenarios. We are developing advanced technologies such as context and scene analysis to enhance our driving understanding, as well as augmenting real-world driving data to generate rare driving events. This includes building large-scale data infrastructures and improving components like agents and realistic simulators, which are pivotal for our technical strategies and methodologies in assessing the Waymo Driver's performance.

The DUE Machine Learning team will develop and maintain scalable machine learning systems and simulation workflows, enhancing evaluation processes and developer onboarding experiences. By merging expert human insights with cutting-edge machine learning models, we will provide training and evaluation data across hundreds of metrics and components that define the Waymo Driver. We are seeking passionate researchers and software engineers eager to harness machine learning techniques to elevate the evaluation systems within our autonomous vehicles, driven by a relentless pursuit of performance improvement.

This position reports to the Engineering Manager.
