Systems Engineer, Motion Control

Описание вакансии

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.

Hardware Engineering is an innovative and collaborative group of electrical, mechanical, reliability, software and vehicle engineers. We design, build, and perfect the products which are the eyes and ears of Waymo's autonomous driving technology, and integrate those products into vehicle platforms. We're seeking curious and talented teammates to keep us moving in the right direction.

This role follows a hybrid work schedule and you will report to Systems Engineering Manager.

You will:

• Derive reliability and motion control requirements for the Waymo Driver software that ensure accuracy, safety, fault tolerance and reliability across multiple compute and vehicle platforms
• Sign off hardware and/or software subsystems for new releases and expanded scope by updating requirements, collaborating with test engineers, and assessing safety risks
• Build analysis tools (e.g. dashboards, database queries, scripts) for large-scale analyses of Waymo’s massive datasets. Define performance metrics based on safety, product, and reliability needs and influence system design decisions.
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams of engineers to solve complex technical challenges, and contribute to a culture of clear communication and high standards
• Influence cross-functional team priorities / roadmap to streamline the requirements process

You have:

• 5+ years of Systems Engineering experience designing or testing autonomous vehicles or other autonomous systems
• Must have direct experience in developing requirements for multiple systems that apply across multiple products, software versions, or hardware iterations
• Experience levying requirements on control systems, motion planning, and/or vehicle dynamics
• Demonstrated experience writing code to analyze data (e.g. Python, SQL, MATLAB)
• Strong collaboration skills with test engineers, software engineers, and other systems engineers
• Bachelor's Degree in a relevant field (e.g. Mechanical, Computer, Electrical Engineering, CS, Robotics, Systems Design) or equivalent industry experience

We prefer:

• Autonomous vehicle or similar experience working on systems with safety-critical hardware and software components
• Experience with analyzing very large datasets (hundreds of thousands of records, high frequency)
• Test engineering experience
