Job Description
Waymo is an autonomous driving technology company with the mission to be the most trusted driver. Since its start as the Google Self-Driving Car Project in 2009, Waymo has focused on building the Waymo Driver-The World‘s Most Experienced Driver™-to improve access to mobility while saving thousands of lives now lost to traffic crashes. The Waymo Driver powers Waymo One, a fully autonomous ride-hailing service, and can also be applied to a range of vehicle platforms and product use cases. The Waymo Driver has provided over one million rider-only trips, enabled by its experience autonomously driving tens of millions of miles on public roads and tens of billions in simulation across 13+ U.S. states.
You Will:
Report to TLM and Build the infrastructure to administer a ‘virtual driver‘s test‘ for the Waymo Driver. Design, implement, and operate scalable simulation data pipelines and/or real world monitoring in order to evaluate the driving capability of the Waymo Driver, and at low latency in the real world.
Improve the signal quality provided by the ‘virtual driver‘s test‘ and measured in the real world. Measure and improve the quality of individual simulations as well as that of the overarching simulation workflows. Seek to answer whether the results of the ‘virtual driver‘s test‘ are predictive of the Waymo Driver‘s real-world driving behavior.
Apply ML models from partner teams, and optionally contribute to them yourself, to improve the efficiency of our ‘virtual driver‘s test‘: simulate the most interesting situations and report the most interesting simulation results or real world discoveries. Build robust integrations with large models.
You Have:
2 years of full-time software engineering experience, or a quantitative PhD with at least 6 months of professional software engineering experience
C++ basic competency
Python basic competency
SQL basic competency
We prefer:
1 year of industry or post-doc experience in a quantitative- or quality- focused engineering role in which you had experience with developing hypotheses, designing and running experiments, processing data from experiments, synthesizing conclusions.
B.Sc . in Computer Science
