- Experience in launching new model architectures, model consolidation, or Foundational Model distillation
- Experience optimizing models for compute efficiency
- Technical fluency in Perception or related field
- Experience working with Perception models
- Experience training and releasing Large Foundational Models, especially Gemini
Responsibilities
- Act as an approver for model launches, understanding and negotiating between trade offs, regressions, and improvements across all of a model’s surface area
- Plan for future investments into model capabilities on a 12+ month timeline by understanding the limitations of the current model architecture and the immediate needs of our Ride Hailing business
- Set the vision for our Object Generation model architecture on a 12-36 month timeline by understanding the overall needs of Waymo and the current State of the Art ML/AI research
- Manage the execution of upcoming milestones by working directly with a group of 20+ engineers, Technical Program Managers, and other Product Managers
- Conduct root cause analysis and conferring with partners in Engineering to propose viable solutions by examining AV behavior from a mix of real world, synthetic, and simulated events
Other
- This role follows a hybrid work schedule and reports to a Senior Product Manager.
- 5 years PM experience
- 7 years PM experience
- Master’s Degree in Engineering or previous experience working as an Engineer
