Remote Computer Science Postdoc information

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Remote Computer Science Postdoc, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Remote Computer Science Postdoc, you need a PhD in computer science or a related field, strong research and analytical skills, and a track record of scholarly publications. Familiarity with advanced programming languages, statistical analysis software, and collaborative research platforms is typically expected. Excellent written communication, self-motivation, and time management are vital soft skills for excelling in a remote academic environment. These competencies ensure that you can independently drive impactful research while effectively collaborating and sharing findings with the broader scientific community.

What are some common challenges faced by remote Computer Science postdocs when collaborating with research teams?

Remote Computer Science postdocs often navigate challenges such as time zone differences, limited face-to-face mentorship, and building rapport with team members. Effective communication tools and regular video meetings are crucial for maintaining strong collaboration and ensuring research progress. Proactively seeking feedback and participating in virtual lab meetings can help remote postdocs stay engaged and integrated with their research groups.

What is a Remote Computer Science Postdoc?

A Remote Computer Science Postdoc is a postdoctoral research position in the field of computer science that allows the researcher to work from a location outside of a traditional academic or research institution, often from home or another remote location. These positions typically involve conducting independent or collaborative research under the guidance of a principal investigator, publishing papers, and contributing to ongoing projects. Remote postdocs leverage digital communication tools to collaborate with their teams and may also participate in virtual conferences and seminars. This flexibility can make it easier to balance work with personal commitments and collaborate internationally. However, it also requires strong self-motivation and communication skills to succeed.

Job description

Waymo is an autonomous driving technology company with the mission to be the world's 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'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.

The Perception team builds the system which learns the spatial-temporal representation and their semantic meanings of the surrounding environment of the autonomously driving vehicle (ADV), i.e., the system that "perceives" the world around the car. We work jointly with downstream teams on the optimization and integration into the Waymo Driver. We conduct our own research to address real-world problems and collaborate with research teams at Alphabet. We have access to millions of miles of driving data from a diverse set of sensors, enabling engineers like you to (1) develop methods for efficiently and continuously learning from large scale real-world data, to (2) develop models and model training at scale, to (3) analyze real-world behavior and develop systems for handling the complexities of interacting with the real-world, and (4) optimize models for our onboard and offboard hardware.

In this hybrid role you will report to a Technical Lead Manager.

You will:

  • Apply machine learning techniques to build multi-modal sensor fusion architectures and spatial-temporal representation learners for object detection and tracking, occupancy and semantic segmentation, road understanding, etc.
  • Develop scalable recipes for large data, large model training running on Alphabet's compute infrastructure, create methods and recipes for pre-training and post-training.
  • Develop methods and recipes for distributed fine-tuning enabling multiple developers to simultaneously improve the model, develop methods and recipes to avoid regression against a production system.
  • Develop and maintain model evaluation recipes and metrics for measuring and improving performance of pre-trained and fine-tuned models

You have:

  • Bachelors in Computer Science or a similar discipline, or an equivalent amount of deep learning experience
  • 3+ years experience in Machine Learning and/or Computer Vision
  • Experience with Python
  • Experience with ML frameworks like PyTorch or JAX

We prefer:

  • MS or PhD Degree in Machine Learning, Robotics, Computer Science or a similar discipline
  • Publications at top-tier conferences like CVPR, ICCV, ECCV, ICLR, ICML, ICRA, IROS, RSS, NeurIPS, AAAI, IJCV, PAMI
  • Experience with C++

The expected base salary range for this full-time position across US locations is listed below. Actual starting pay will be based on job-related factors, including exact work location, experience, relevant training and education, and skill level. Your recruiter can share more about the specific salary range for the role location or, if the role can be performed remote, the specific salary range for your preferred location, during the hiring process.

Waymo employees are also eligible to participate in Waymo's discretionary annual bonus program, equity incentive plan, and generous Company benefits program, subject to eligibility requirements.
