Waymo—formerly the Google self-driving car project—makes it safe and easy for people & things to get around with autonomous vehicles. Take a ride now. Backed by Bessemer, Kleiner Perkins and Sequoia.
About the role
Software Engineering builds the brains of Waymo's fully autonomous driving technology. Our software allows the Waymo Driver to perceive the world around it, make the right decision for every situation, and deliver people safely to their destinations. We think deeply and solve complex technical challenges in areas like robotics, perception, decision-making and deep learning, while collaborating with hardware and systems engineers.
What they're looking for
- Currently pursuing a Master's or PhD in Computer Science, Robotics, Electrical Engineering, Machine Learning, or a related quantitative discipline
- Strong programming proficiency in Python and solid experience with modern deep learning frameworks (e.g., PyTorch, JAX, or TensorFlow)
- Hands-on experience designing, training, and debugging deep learning architectures for Computer Vision, 3D Perception, or Graph Neural Networks (e.g., Transformers, DETR-based detectors, GNNs, or BEV perception)
- Solid foundational knowledge of 2D/3D geometry, coordinate transformations, and spatial/relational reasoning
More about this role
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.
