Senior Software Engineer, Simulation, Vehicle & Autonomous Driving Realism Mountain View, CA, USA; San Francisco, CA, USA 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 Driverâ„¢-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. The Simulator Team at Waymo builds state-of-the-art simulations of realistic environments for testing and training the Waymo Driver. The team is be a diverse, and collaborative group of software engineers, machine learning (ML) engineers, and data scientists. We develop industry-leading simulation solutions that measure and enhance the performance of the Waymo Driver. We achieve those goals by jointly modeling the real world, including self driving vehicle simulation, realistic agents (vehicles, pedestrians, cyclists, motorcyclists), roads, traffic control systems, and weather conditions, and the full sensor suite including camera, Lidar and radars. Waymo's simulation allows the self driving software to be tested on millions of miles of traffic before they even hit the road. It is crucial to Waymo's mission of developing the world's
