We have wide reaching impact into both onboard and off-board system architecture, paving the way for future-looking deep-learning-based explorations. As a Technical Lead, you'll have an impact on scaling our Waymo Driver's performance and maintaining and improving our excellent safety record as Waymo expands to more cities.

In this hybrid role, you will report to an Engineering Manager.

You will

  • Working closely with leads and TLMs in the org to design and implement horizontal solutions to solve behavioral driving issues in new geos
  • Build quantitative evaluation techniques to drive data driven development
  • Work closely with partners in Mapping, Product, and the rest of the Onboard stack

You have:

  • PhD, Masters or Bachelors degree in Computer Science, Machine Learning, Robotics, or a related field
  • Experience manipulating and analyzing large datasets
  • Experience with working and solving design problems that cut across multiple components. High quality API design with an eye towards eval and data driven techniques.

We prefer:

  • Experience in the autonomous driving domain, including areas like motion planning or perception
  • Proficiency in SQL
  • Proficiency in C++
  • Evaluation experience, contributing to scalable eval workflows and building metrics for ML models

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.
