Jobs at Waymo

Develop machine learning models and infrastructure for assessing autonomous vehicle behavior. Collaborate across teams to optimize production systems and model performance.

Develop GPU primitives, manage performance on new platforms, collaborate on SoC projects, and enhance CI/CD testing for GPUs.

Develop and lead evaluation systems, benchmarks, and large-scale data pipelines for Waymo foundation models and embodied AI agents. Evaluate models across pretraining, supervised fine-tuning, and reinforcement learning for quality, safety, and realism. Collaborate across teams to bring innovative machine learning technologies into production. The role requires strong ML engineering, deep learning, distributed systems, programming, analytical, and debugging skills.

Design, build, and maintain large-scale sensor simulation and rendering pipelines to run millions of simulated miles. Work with multi-modal sensor data (camera, lidar, radar), approximate real-world phenomena (physics, light transport, photogrammetry, NeRFs), manage efficient asset/data pipelines, and collaborate with AI/ML teams to evaluate and improve onboard models.

Lead programmatic media buying and ad ops across DSPs and Google/Apple channels, build in-house programmatic capabilities, deploy AI-driven automation, negotiate PMP/PG deals, and partner with analytics to measure incrementality and feed MMM.

Design and specify microarchitectures and high-performance execution units for ML accelerators. Translate researcher requirements into hardware features, optimize power/area/performance, and collaborate with verification teams to ensure functional correctness and performance.

Lead end-to-end ML model development for safety-critical driving behaviors, design experiments, improve data quality, deploy models and metrics fleet-wide, and communicate results across product and engineering teams.

Lead strategic relationships with transit, microtransit, and paratransit partners to design, negotiate, pilot, and scale integrations. Drive public-private partnerships, translate public sector needs into product requirements, coordinate cross-functional teams, draft framework agreements, and expand Waymo's transit footprint domestically and internationally.

Design and implement compiler optimizations and new compiler features for a high-performance neural network inference platform. Analyze generated code performance, collaborate with hardware architects for hardware/software codesign, and work with model developers to tune networks for inference efficiency and accuracy. Leverage agentic AI to accelerate analysis, planning, and production software improvements.

Develop signals to measure the performance of the Waymo driver, analyze data, improve metric quality, and collaborate on evaluation products for autonomous driving software.

Lead rapid partner sourcing, negotiate and close volume-driven infrastructure agreements (charging, maintenance, parking) for international market entry. Manage site acquisition, onboard suppliers, drive cross-functional alignment, and resolve operational or contract issues to accelerate Waymo's global expansion.

Design and optimize high-performance ML-focused ASIC microarchitectures. Translate researcher requirements into RTL, specify execution units and datapath elements, perform power/area/performance tradeoffs, and collaborate with verification teams to ensure functional correctness and target ML performance.

The Staff Technical Program Manager will manage simulation compute resources, develop execution strategies, and influence stakeholders for project success.

Design and productionize ML models and infrastructure to assess autonomous vehicle behavior in simulation and field. Operate large-scale ML and data systems, build simulation workflows, combine human judgments with ML for training and evaluation, and collaborate across teams to deploy state-of-the-art models and improve model quality.

Develop and productionize ML models for assessing autonomous vehicle behavior, build ML infrastructure, and collaborate across teams for deployment.

Develop infrastructure for a virtual driver's test for autonomous vehicles, improving simulation workflows using ML models and evaluating driving behavior.

Lead go-to-market and commercial strategy projects, perform rigorous quantitative and qualitative analysis (financial modeling, SQL), align cross-functional stakeholders, build business models and scenarios, and present insights and recommendations to leadership.

Lead end-to-end partner strategy and management for payment processors, acquirers, networks, and fintechs. Negotiate complex international commercial agreements, coordinate cross-functional workstreams (Product, Engineering, Finance, Legal, Accounting), and build C-level relationships to design and scale Waymo's global payments infrastructure.

Source, negotiate, and manage strategic commercial and technical partnerships with mobile network operators and telco ecosystem partners. Act as primary partnership manager for telecom execs, drive joint reviews and co-innovation roadmaps, and coordinate cross-functional Product, Engineering, Legal, and Finance teams to ensure technical feasibility and deployment.

The Senior Software Engineer will drive the architecture of core services for evaluation workflows, mentor junior engineers, and ensure APIs meet evaluation complexities.
