Senior Software Engineer, Mapping Data & Eval
Job description
The Roadgraph team builds the intelligent platform and automated pipelines that create, validate, and scale the high-definition geo knowledge base powering the Waymo Driver. We combine applied machine learning, computer vision, statistical evaluation, and large-scale distributed systems to solve one of the most foundational and exciting challenges in autonomous driving. High-definition mapping is a foundational pillar enabling the Waymo Driver to navigate safely, smoothly, and reliably. To rapidly expand commercial autonomous ride-hailing to new cities and continents, we must scale our automated mapping pipelines.
We work closely with onboard engineers to solve problems in an end to end…
Job responsibilities
- Evaluate and launch machine learning models that automatically generate map from raw data.
- Work with onboard teams to evolve Waymo’s mapping format to make it more automation friendly.
- Apply statistical analysis to validate large-scale changes.
- Build backend infrastructure for storing and processing many forms of map data.
- Scale our systems to support mapping the whole world.
Job requirements
- B.S. in Computer Science or a similar technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
- Hands-on experience with statistical analysis, experiment design, and quantitative evaluation of ML models or data pipelines.
- Experience building scalable data processing pipelines using distributed frameworks like Google Data Flow or Apache Beam.
- Demonstrated ability to take ownership of complex technical problems end-to-end and deliver measurable results in a collaborative team environment.
- A passion for good software engineering.
