The opportunity
The Simulator Team at Waymo builds state-of-the-art simulations of realistic environments for testing and training the Waymo Driver. We develop industry-leading simulation solutions using advanced ML algorithms that measure and enhance the performance of the Waymo Driver.
What you'll do
Architect and lead complex, horizontal software integrations across the Waymo Simulator stack.
Define long-term technical vision, system boundaries, and extensible: interfaces that cleanly integrate onboard autonomy subsystems with offboard simulation and evaluation workflows.
Drive multi-quarter, cross-organizational technical roadmaps and large-scale: architectural migrations across simulation, evaluation, and onboard engineering teams.
Partner closely with senior technical leaders across onboard, sim realism,: vehicle platforms, and evaluation to align on end-to-end system design and fidelity requirements.
Establish technical standards, integration frameworks, and validation: methodologies that accelerate how new Waymo Driver capabilities and vehicle platforms are brought into simulation.
Mentor senior engineers and technical leads across partner teams, elevating: system architecture quality and driving cohesive cross-team execution.
What they're looking for
- BS/MS/PhD in Computer Science, Robotics, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical: Engineering, Physics, Math, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience)
- Extensive experience operating technical leadership level at an autonomous: vehicle (AV) company, AV simulation company, robotics company, or a related complex simulation/autonomy domain.
- Proven track record of setting multi-year technical vision, driving: multi-quarter roadmaps, and delivering complex horizontal software integrations across organizational boundaries.
- Deep expertise architecting large-scale, high-complexity simulation or: autonomy systems, integrating onboard software stacks, ML models, and vehicle platforms into simulation.
