Waymo is looking to solve open problems in autonomous driving by developing machine learning solutions, specifically focusing on research at the intersection of scene reconstruction and scene synthesis using generative models to improve the safety and capabilities of their autonomous driving technology.
Requirements
- Hands-on computer vision and machine learning experience (prior internships or research projects)
- Related publications in major conferences (e.g. CVPR, ICCV, ECCV, ICML, ICLR, CoRL, SIGGRAPH, etc) or ongoing research projects in this area
- Strong software engineering skills in Python
- Prior experience in neural rendering (meshes, point clouds, Gaussian Splatting, NeRF) and/or generative image/video models
- Ability to rapidly prototype research ideas in deep learning frameworks (e.g. TensorFlow, PyTorch, JAX)
Responsibilities
- Drive research at the intersection of scene reconstruction (from real-world data) and scene synthesis (using generative models)
- Prototype and iterate on various research ideas using Waymo's internal driving data
- Present research findings to a wide audience within Waymo, with the possibility of publishing results to the research community
Other
- Currently pursuing a Master's or PhD degree in computer science or a related technical field
- Help solve challenging problems with a direct impact on the company
- Competitive compensation packages with a housing/relocation bonus (if applicable)
- Medical, dental, and vision insurance
- Fun intern events and networking opportunities
