What is a Remote PhD Deep Learning Researcher?

A Remote PhD Deep Learning Researcher is a professional with a doctoral degree who conducts advanced research in deep learning, often from a location outside of a traditional office or laboratory. Their work involves developing and testing new algorithms, models, or techniques in areas such as computer vision, natural language processing, or reinforcement learning. They typically collaborate with academic, corporate, or independent research teams online, publish findings in scientific journals, and contribute to the advancement of artificial intelligence. Working remotely allows them to engage with global research communities and access a broader range of opportunities.

What are some common challenges faced by remote PhD Deep Learning researchers, and how can they be addressed?

Remote PhD Deep Learning researchers often encounter challenges such as limited in-person collaboration, access to specialized hardware, and balancing independent work with regular communication. Overcoming these obstacles typically involves leveraging collaborative tools (like Slack, Zoom, or GitHub), proactively scheduling virtual meetings with advisors and peers, and utilizing cloud computing resources for large-scale experiments. Building a strong online network and maintaining clear communication channels can greatly enhance productivity and foster a sense of community despite the remote setting.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Remote PhD Deep Learning Researcher, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Remote PhD Deep Learning Researcher, you need a strong background in machine learning, deep learning theory, and advanced mathematics, typically backed by a PhD in computer science or a related field. Expertise with programming languages such as Python, deep learning frameworks like TensorFlow or PyTorch, and experience with cloud computing platforms is essential. Exceptional problem-solving, independent initiative, and clear scientific communication are crucial soft skills for remote collaboration and research dissemination. These skills ensure high-quality, innovative research and effective contributions to the scientific community in a remote setting.

Job description

Senior Research Scientist, Foundation Model for Simulation

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 DriverTM—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 mission of the Waymo Applied Research team is to develop machine learning solutions addressing open problems in autonomous driving, towards the goal of the safely operating Waymo vehicles in dozens of cities and under all driving conditions. As part of our work, we also initiate and foster collaborations with other research teams in Alphabet.

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

You will:

  • Conduct applied foundation model research and development
  • Design compelling experiments by training and evaluating large deep learning models
  • Present results to peers and leadership
  • Write high quality code, unit tests, and documentation

You have:

  • Masters or PhD in deep learning in behavior and agent modeling or simulation
  • Proficiency in Python
  • 3+ years of experience with modern deep learning frameworks. Prefer JAX or TensorFlow 2; however, Pytorch is acceptable.
  • Experience in generative modeling and LLMs or VLMs (e.g., Gemini, Llama, GPT)

We prefer:

  • Post-training, incl. reinforcement learning
  • Distillation
  • Transformer models
  • Autoencoders and embeddings

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.

Salary Range $204,000—$259,000 USD
