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.
Waymo’s Product Management Team is a mission-driven team responsible for writing and enacting first-of-their-kind playbooks to bring fully autonomous driving technology to market. Our team develops simple solutions for complex problems by orchestrating cross-functional efforts to safely drive Waymo’s technology and the products it enables forward. We do this by understanding the customer, the business, and the technology. We are humble about the scope of our work, collaborative in our approach to problem-solving, and ambitious about our vision for the future.
In this hybrid role, you will report to a Director of Product Management.
You will:
- Scale Waymo’s data collection and telemetry product suite while maintaining continuous efficiency and reliability gains
- Develop the roadmap for Waymo’s 1st party and 3rd party data acquisition programs
- Design ‘demand management’ processes and technical capabilities to federate, prioritize, and optimize quality / cost tradeoffs for data workflows and telemetry that span all of Waymo R&D (hardware, AI, onboard software, evaluation, etc)
- Develop and consult with onboard and safety teams to support critical connectivity workflows that ‘backstop’ Waymo’s fleet
- Iterate on the end-to-end suite of data collection capabilities that span depot infrastructure, onboard logging hardware and telematics, onboard software, offboard software, and technical infrastructure
- Provide consultation and guidance to onboard teams seeking new data sources
You have:
- 3-5 years product management experience, preferably in a highly technical area / supporting a developer-facing product
- Deep curiosity and grit
- Track record of excellent stakeholder management to bring disparate parts of an organization together to a common consensus
- Amazing attention to detail. This isn’t just a “table stakes” skillset that candidates should gloss over--the issues this Product Manager will work with requires deep thinking and consideration of complex spaces.
- Work with scaled organizations--development of processes, metrics, and training to execute your needs
We prefer:
- Product management experience in data infrastructure, analytics, machine learning/AI, or cloud services
- Robotics or AV experience
- Experience with large-scale data pipelines and data governance
Travel Requirements:
- Ability to travel domestically as needed
- Ability to travel internationally ~1x per year
