About the job
Waymo, a leader in autonomous driving technology, is dedicated to becoming the world’s most trusted driver. Originating from the Google Self-Driving Car Project in 2009, Waymo has developed the Waymo Driver—The World's Most Experienced Driver™—to enhance mobility access and drastically reduce traffic-related fatalities. With over ten million rider-only trips and the ability to autonomously navigate more than 100 million miles on public roads, Waymo is transforming transportation across 15+ U. S. states.
The Waymo Mapping team aims to create a high-resolution map of the world to facilitate safe autonomous driving. We employ both automated and manual mapping techniques and develop the necessary infrastructure to store, process, and distribute our maps. Our team collaborates with several other departments within Waymo that utilize map data.
In this role, you will:
- Design, train, and deploy machine learning models that automate the creation of Waymo's HD maps, allowing for scalability in the Waymo Driver.
- Utilize and advance cutting-edge ML techniques, including Vision-Language Models (VLMs) and Generative AI, to innovate in mapping automation.
- Manage the entire model development lifecycle, from data mining and processing to model training, evaluation, validation, and production.
- Work closely with partner ML teams, such as Waymo Perception and Waymo AI Foundations, to implement pioneering research into scalable, reliable, production-ready solutions.
