About the role

  • The Waymo Driver powers Waymo's fully autonomous ride-hail service and can also be applied to a range of vehicle platforms and product use cases.
  • The Waymo Driver has provided over ten million rider-only trips, enabled by its experience autonomously driving over 100 million miles on public roads and tens of billions in simulation across 15+ U.S. states.

Responsibilities

  • 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 mobility while saving thousands of lives now lost to traffic crashes.
  • The Simulation Team at Waymo builds state-of-the-art simulations of realistic environments for testing and training the Waymo Driver.
  • Develop and implement models to identify and correct issues in perception-based data for simulation.
  • Analyze data quality, investigate anomalies, and drive improvements in our data labeling pipelines.
  • Collaborate with perception and simulation teams to refine data requirements and quality standards.
  • Lead efforts to address complex data quality challenges and define ML strategies for high-fidelity data generation.
  • Strong coding and design skills.

Requirements

  • Proficiency in Python and common ML frameworks (e.g., TensorFlow, PyTorch).
  • Experience with data analysis and quality assessment.
  • PhD degree in Computer Science or a similar discipline.
  • Experience with autonomous vehicle sensor data.

Compensation

  • $251,000 - $310,000 USD

Benefits

  • 5+ (L5) / 7+ (L6) years of experience in applied Deep Learning/Machine Learning.
  • Strong background in computer vision, sensor fusion, or perception.
  • Our team is a diverse, and collaborative group of software engineers, machine learning (ML) engineers, and data scientists.
  • By applying machine learning, we model the real world, including realistic agents (vehicles, pedestrians, cyclists, motorcyclists), roads, traffic control systems, and weather conditions.

Company info

  • Waymo is an autonomous driving technology company with the mission to be the world's most trusted driver.
  • We develop industry-leading simulation solutions using advanced ML algorithms that measure and enhance the performance of the Waymo Driver.
  • We are also constantly innovating to build scalable and efficient systems to manage the sheer volume and intricacy of this data.
