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
Provide technical thought leadership and will be consistently called upon in: setting (scalable) strategy for (technical but regulatory) evidence generation.
Drive the implementation of functional safety requirements across platform: systems and lower-level fault response frameworks
Deeply understand Waymo’s safety framework methodologies, safety data, and: internal processes, and square them against external requirements to spot gaps and opportunities. Bring your technical expertise and judgement to bear on which are the highest ROI activities for Waymo to pursue. Topics may include: ODD coverage, behavioral competencies definition and testing strategy, argumentation for safety in relation to "discovery" and uncertainty management, and other topics related to behavioral safety
Contribute to international market entry strategy by mapping internal: behavioral data and safety methodologies to international standards (e.g., UNECE requirements and Type Approval processes) to close compliance gaps
Represent technical teams and concepts accurately and consistently with regulators
Duties will involve both the design of documentation and the strategy to: support data pipelines that would populate the data for said documents
What they're looking for
- + years of experience driving new product adoption, ideally in safety-critical industries
- Deep knowledge of system architectures and full the lifecycle of design,: development, testing, and deployment of safety critical systems. This technical expertise need not be in autonomous vehicles, but preferably in systems of similar levels of complexity
- Demonstrated capability to interface with core software/data engineering: teams, acting as a translator to turn ambiguous, external regulatory requests into concrete engineering requirements and data schemas
- Proven ability to extract and process data from massive, distributed relational/non-relational databases
