Job Summary: Waymo is an autonomous driving technology company with the mission to be the most trusted driver. They are seeking a Senior Staff Software Engineer to develop machine learning solutions for autonomous driving, focusing on large-scale sensor data for training and evaluating foundation models.
Responsibilities: • Build deep understanding on large-scale sensor data for training and evaluating Foundation Models, with a special focus on scene, mapping, and semantics understanding. • Create data strategies for Foundation Model Flywheel that advances our critical businesses: large-scale sensor data collection, business-driven sensor data sampling, long-tail data mining, large-scale auto-labeling, targeted efficient human labeling, human-in-the-loop sensor data curation and quality improving. • Collaborate with foundation model owners to co-evolve our data and model components: using foundation models to auto-label large-scale driving data, and mining targeted long-tails to improve foundation models. • Design and develop the large-scale sensor data storage system that enables unified and efficient training, eval, and sensor data mining for foundation models. • Set up and evolve the working structure between multiple teams across Waymo, where we maximize reuse of infrastructure and tooling. • Responsible for defining and delivering large-scale and high-quality sensor dataset for foundation model training and evaluation.
Qualifications:
Required: • Track record in developing reliable and high-quality data infrastructure for large-scale deep learning systems. • Experience in large-scale data curation, data sampling, data mining, and/or data-model co-evolving. • Experience in collaborating with horizontal teams, from model teams, infrastructure teams, and data teams, to advance key product success. • Technical ability to dive deep into complex systems, infrastructure, algorithms, and modeling techniques.
Preferred: • Having first-hand experience as users of data for large-scale generalist deep learning models. • Familiarity with the data needs of modern Vision-Language Models (VLMs) or Large-Language Models (LLMs). • Experience in large-scale distributed systems or products.
Company: Waymo is a mobility technology company that improves transportation by developing self-driving solutions for travelers and daily commuters. It is a sub-organization of Alphabet. Founded in 2009, the company is headquartered in Mountain View, California, USA, with a team of 1001-5000 employees. The company is currently Late Stage.
