Job description
from Waymo careersWaymo 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.
Our mission within the Driver Understanding and Evaluation (DUE) team at Waymo is to develop rich metrics for understanding the behavior of the Waymo Driver in the real world.
In this hybrid role, you will report to a Software Engineering Manager.
You will:
- Build the infrastructure to administer a "virtual driver's test" for the Waymo Driver. Design, implement, and operate scalable simulation data pipelines to evaluate the driving capability of the Waymo Driver.
- Improve the signal quality provided by the "virtual driver's test". Improve the quality of individual simulations and that of the overarching simulation workflows. Try to answer whether the results of the "virtual driver's test" are predictive of the Waymo Driver's real-world driving behavior.
