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
Build the infrastructure to administer a "virtual driver's test" for the: Waymo Driver. Design, implement, and operate scalable simulation data pipelines to evaluate the driving capability of the Waymo Driver.
Improve the signal quality provided by the "virtual driver's test". Improve: the quality of individual simulations and that of the overarching simulation workflows. Try 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.
