    Description

    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.

    • Collaborate deeply with Engineering, Research, Systems Engineering, Safety, and Operations teams to gather requirements, align on roadmaps, and ensure successful development and deployment of new simulation capabilities
    • Monitor and relentlessly improve simulator performance, realism, and efficiency, identifying key opportunities and driving a data-informed product development process
    You have:
    • A BS degree in Computer Science, engineering, similar technical field or equivalent practical experience
    • 6+ years of experience with at least 4+ years in product management, with a proven track record of owning and launching complex technical products
    • Strong technical acumen and experience in developing and launching products leveraging AI/ML, including familiarity with foundation models or generative AI
    • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to communicate technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders
    We prefer:
    • Experience with simulation systems, robotics, autonomous vehicle technology, or game engines
    • Deep understanding of and experience in productizing AI/ML models, including large-scale foundation models
    • Knowledge of sensor simulation, synthetic data generation, or world modeling
