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 and/or real world monitoring in order to evaluate the driving capability of the Waymo Driver, and at low latency in the real world.
Improve the signal quality provided by the “virtual driver’s test” and: measured in the real world. Measure and improve the quality of individual simulations as well as that of the overarching simulation workflows. Seek 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.
Apply software engineering best practices in order to improve code health and: developer experience in the “virtual driver’s test” and the real world monitoring development ecosystems.
Partner with cross-functional teams including Data Science and Systems: Engineering who will help with number crunching and expert understanding of the Waymo Driver internals.
+ years of full-time software engineering experience, or a quantitative PhD: with software engineering experience C++ proficiency
