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
Design, own, and drive the horizontal vehicle cybersecurity roadmap, managing: the interplay between base vehicle platforms and the Waymo Driver autonomous driving system across all existing and new vehicle platforms.
Coordinate and align Waymo internal engineering, product management, and: operations on base vehicle cybersecurity requirements, timing, and readiness.
Govern the end-to-end Vehicle Security Requirement Process Flow from: ideation, risk-based triage, requirement definition, feature design, commitment, implementation and verification and stakeholder governance.
Drive regular software release cybersecurity reporting, tracking key metrics: for upcoming software releases and providing stakeholder updates as to the status, risks and success likelihood of cybersecurity features.
Partner effectively with internal teams so cybersecurity features have clear: handoff criteria and owners after Production Readiness Review (PRR). Systematically identify where security controls create operational friction or negatively affect fleet usage, driving cross-functional technical solutions to deployment with the owning teams within agreed operational timelines.
Work proactively to ensure base vehicle security architectures meet Waymo's: highest security bar and conform to applicable automotive standards and regulations (e.g., ISO/SAE 21434, UN ECE R155, UN ECE R156).
What they're looking for
- + years of relevant work experience, including 5+ years in Technical Program: Management, within complex embedded systems, product security, or safety-critical engineering environments (e.g., automotive, aerospace, defense, or robotics).
- A BA/BS degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Cybersecurity, or equivalent practical experience.
- Demonstrated technical fluency in embedded and modern vehicle cybersecurity: concepts with the ability to act as a technical peer to Systems Engineering and Security Engineering when discussing vehicle networks (CAN, Automotive Ethernet, ECUs), autonomous driving hardware/software systems and onboard security features.
- Proven track record of leading multi-company and cross-functional initiatives: spanning external OEM/supplier partners and internal embedded, cloud, systems engineering, and fleet operations teams.
