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.
The multiverse team evaluates the Waymo Driver in simulations and in the real world to issue the driving license for each new version of our AI driver. We need to understand any tricky situations and anticipate the challenges that could come up in multiple lifetimes of driving to make sure our software handles those safely and gracefully. We solve complex technical challenges at the intersection of large-scale distributed data processing, sampling and decision making. We're collaborating with diverse teams, from data scientists and systems engineers to researchers. If you're a software engineer who values challenges, who dreams of a future where transportation is safer, smarter, and more accessible, we invite you to join us. Together, let's build the impossible.
In this hybrid role, you will report to a Senior Engineering Manager.
