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.
The Perception Data team at Waymo is responsible for the overarching strategy and technical steering of all data used to train and evaluate the Waymo Driver’s perception system. We own the end-to-end data lifecycle, building the automated "flywheels" and "infra-as-product" solutions that transform millions of miles of driving sensor data into high-quality training sets. Our work bridges the gap between raw data and advanced machine learning, focusing on complex challenges like active learning loops and open-vocabulary modeling.
