Waymo is looking to solve the problem of ensuring the behavior of their autonomous vehicles is safe, dynamically feasible, reliable, and comfortable in complex and uncertain environments by improving onboard routing algorithms.
Requirements
- Proficiency in C++ programming, including experience writing production-quality code.
- Strong software architecture skills.
- Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to work with ambiguity.
- Knowledge of search algorithms, or optimization techniques.
- Experience with robotics, autonomous vehicles, or geospatial systems.
- Experience with Python and SQL for data analysis.
- Familiarity with machine learning concepts and experience applying ML techniques to real-world problems.
Responsibilities
- Design, implement and improve the high performance onboard routing algorithms that guide Waymo cars safely and efficiently to their destinations.
- Collaborate closely with teams across Waymo, including other Planner teams, TaaS, Pullover and Offboard to improve onboard and offboard routing decisions.
- Contribute to the full software development lifecycle, from ideation and design to implementation, testing, deployment, and monitoring.
Other
- Work with a creative team of people who are responsible for ensuring that the behavior of our cars is safe, dynamically feasible, reliable, and comfortable in environments where inputs can be noisy, uncertain, or incomplete.
- Proven ability to collaborate effectively within a team and with cross-functional partners. Good communication skills.
- BS in Computer Science, ML, Robotics, similar technical field of study, or equivalent practical experience
- Master's or PhD in Computer Science, Robotics, ML or a related technical field.
