The Waymo Driver powers Waymo's fully autonomous ride-hail service and can also be applied to a range of vehicle platforms and product use cases. The Waymo Driver has provided over ten million rider-only trips, enabled by its experience autonomously driving over 100 million miles on public roads and tens of billions in simulation across 15+ U.S. states.

  • Write software to perform data mining or measure the performance of the autonomous vehicle in perception edge cases
  • Develop and maintain key relationships with stakeholders in Perception, Simulation, and Systems Engineering

You have:

  • 3+ years of experience leading technical teams, with a focus on promoting a collaborative and innovative environment 
  • 8+ years of experience in software engineering
  • Fluency in Python and C++
  • Ability to hire, develop and train others to develop test tooling, perform data mining, and/or develop key metrics for measuring autonomous vehicle performance

We prefer:

  • Experience and interest in autonomous vehicles, robotics, or similar field 
  • 1+ years of engineering management experience  
  • Advanced Engineering degree 
  • Some working technical knowledge of, and interest in, how ML-based perception systems work
