Senior Software Engineer, Perception Future Sensing Platforms

Waymo is an autonomous driving technology company with the mission to be the world's most trusted driver. The role involves working with a team to bring up Perception software on new hardware platforms and evolving existing software to enhance compatibility across various sensor hardware.

Responsibilities:

• Work with a creative team of people who are responsible for the bring-up of Perception SW on new hardware platforms (vehicles, sensors, compute)
• Evolve existing SW to abstract away superfluous differences between various sensor hardware and encapsulate hardware-specific logic, by writing design docs, gathering feedback, implementing the change and testing it and monitoring its continued health and maintaining it during its lifespan
• Rapidly prototype and run de-risking experiments for the next-generation Perception SW stack that is designed to be more portable to the new sensor HW
• Maintain and run evaluations of existing or hypothetical new sensor hardware to help make decisions on sensor HW options. Write up analyses that summarize high-level recommendations using the evidence from these evaluations
