  • Develop foundational frameworks that help advancement of the Waymo Driver's capabilities.
  • Expand the impact of ML models while preserving interpretability and behavioral guarantees
  • Directly contribute to solving some of the most challenging driving situations in the long tail.

You have:
  • Masters or PhD degree in Computer Science, Machine Learning or a similar discipline.
  • Proficiency in C++ or Python
  • Experience with Machine Learning models in production systems

We prefer:
