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
Use C++ and multi-domain modeling tools to develop models of chassis: dynamics, actuator dynamics, and safety systems for Waymo platforms
Integrate vehicle dynamics models into the Waymo Simulator and simulation workflows
Define and drive the execution of test campaigns to characterize the vehicle: dynamics of Waymo platforms and validate vehicle dynamics models
Develop and execute sim-based analyses to support all phases of development: of the Waymo Driver from requirements definition through verification and validation
Support partner teams across Waymo in applying vehicle dynamics simulation capabilities to their use cases
Master’s degree in an engineering or related field (including ME, EE, CS,: Robotics, Controls, Aerospace, etc.) or equivalent practical experience
What they're looking for
- At least 5 years experience modeling and simulating vehicle dynamics
- Strong understanding of tire modeling techniques, including analytical and: semi-empirical (Magic Formula) models
- Strong understanding of chassis dynamics modeling techniques, including both: low- and high-fidelity (multibody) models
- Strong understanding of the principles of operation of vehicle safety: systems, including anti-lock brakes, electronic stability control, and traction control
