About the role
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.
Perception's system architecture is at the heart of many of our onboard and offboard systems. Our systems power the development of hundreds of engineers. Using these core investments, you would be able to work with our teams to make the technology fast and flexible for our applications. With recent attention on Perception Eval and pivots to meet new requirements for Foundation Models, an execution gap has surfaced to improve Perception distributed systems with a specific focus on Evaluation. You would be invested in improving distributed systems across Perception with specific attention towards evaluation systems.
You will:
Report into our Head of Perception Scalability
Pivot among different areas and prioritize projects across Perception, Data Extraction, Evaluation
Improve latency and correctness and Data Extraction speed
Build a system to easily find source of truth performance and experiment metrics and build a Launch Eval tool
You have:
3+ years experience in C++, Python , Algorithms, and System Design
Familiarity with Google Infrastructure: Flume, Spanner, Borg, Guitar
3+ years of experience in data analysis at a large-scale
3+ years experience working on a multi-component ML system and building measurable signals to improve it
Excited about building solutions to complex problems.
