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 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.

  • Engineer systems that proactively detect anomalies and automate clustering, drastically reducing the friction of managing reliability and catching issues early.

 

You have:


  • BS in Comp Sci, EE, Robotics, Physics, Math, or related field (or equivalent experience).

  • 3+ years of experience in C++ or Python, building scalable pipelines and tooling.

  • Understanding of fundamental statistical concepts and applying them in the real world.
