Software Engineer, Hardware

Waymo is an autonomous driving technology company with the mission to be the 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 mobility while saving thousands of lives now lost to traffic crashes. The Waymo Driver powers Waymo One, a fully autonomous ride-hailing service, and can also be applied to a range of vehicle platforms and product use cases. The Waymo Driver has provided over one million rider-only trips, enabled by its experience autonomously driving tens of millions of miles on public roads and tens of billions in simulation across 13+ U.S. states. Hardware Engineering is a diverse, and collaborative group of electrical, mechanical, reliability, software and vehicle engineers. We design, build, and perfect the products which are the eyes and ears of Waymo's autonomous driving technology, and integrate those products into vehicle platforms. We're looking for curious and talented teammates to keep us moving in the right direction. In this hybrid role, you will report to a Staff Software Engineer. You will: Develop high-quality software (C++) for embedded systems (microcontrollers). Develop high-quality on-vehicle and off-vehicle software (C++) to integrate / manage autonomous vehicle functions (e.g., auto-driving, power, networking, cleaning, thermal). Analyze field data (logs) and simulation results. Participate in cross-functional workflows (e.g., requirement reviews, project planning). You have: Degree (BS, MS) in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Robotics, Controls, or similar or equivalent practical experience. At least 1 year of professional experience developing production software in modern C++ (at least C++11). Advanced knowledge of C++ patterns, idioms, and unit test methodology. We prefer: At least 3 years of professional experience developing production software in modern C++ (at least C++14). In-depth understanding of microcontroller-based Embedded Systems and associated development and debugging tools. Working experience with safety critical systems / functional safety. Working experience with cybersecurity (e.g., Secure Boot, SecOC, MACSec). Open source projects that demonstrate dedication to crafting high quality software.
