The opportunity
Waymo is an autonomous driving technology company with the mission to be the world's 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…
What you'll do
You will manage autonomous vehicle product safety for safeaty excluding: collision risk. This includes discovery, evaluation, escalation, mitigation, and acceptance.
You will partner with domain experts from systems, hardware, software, and: operations to build robust risk assessments with sustainable overhead for execution and flexibility in the face of an expanding product scope.
You will review proposed mitigations, write requirements and test coverage,: and identify KPIs for field monitoring - all to ensure risk is sufficient managed with strong regression protection.
You will propose an evaluation framework and acceptance criteria, drawing on: industry practice and standards where applicable. Within the framework, you will architect best practices for risk assessment methodologies, including publishing internal guidance on risk model, data sources and computation methods.
When necessary, you will translate complex probabilistic risk models and: statistical analyses into clear, actionable safety arguments and executive summaries for technical leaders, cross-functional partners, and safety review boards.
You will champion and promote a robust safety culture and the continuous: improvement of the Waymo safety program across the engineering and operations organizations.
What they're looking for
- An advanced degree in Computer Science, Robotics, Engineering or other: relevant technical field OR 4 years of practical experience involving safety risk assessments and systems engineering.
- Proven experience managing product risk for physical products or services,: using quantitative or semi-quantitative risk models to manage risk.
- Strong foundation in the process of risk management, including the end-to-end: lifecycle of risk: identification, assessment, mitigation and acceptance of risk (e.g. following ISO 31000/31010 or equivalent standards).
- Solid understanding of safety critical system designs and the systems: engineering “Verification and Validation” process.
