  • Develop software scripts and queries to analyze and interact with data
  • Champion new simulation capabilities that improve Waymo’s development efficiency
  • Lead projects requiring contributions from multiple cross-functional teams such as SysEng, Safety, Product, SW & HW engineering. Build consensus and proactively drive progress.

  • 7+ years of hands-on systems and/or software engineering experience
  • Data analysis and related script development skills (e.g. using Python, SQL, R, MATLAB, or similar), including using large datasets

It’s preferred if you have:

  • Experience as a Systems or Software Engineer for complex or mission critical systems
  • Experience with simulation and modeling of physical hardware/software systems or data-driven modeling techniques
  • Experience with Linux or Unix based systems
