    Job description

    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.

    Waymo's Compute Team is tasked with a critical and exciting mission: We deliver the compute platform responsible for running the fully autonomous vehicle's software stack. To achieve our mission, we architect and create high-performance custom silicon; we develop system-level compute architectures that push the boundaries of performance, power, and latency; and we collaborate closely with many other teammates to ensure we design and optimize hardware and software for maximum performance. We are a multidisciplinary team seeking curious and talented teammates to work on one of the world's highest performance automotive compute platforms.

    In this role, you will report to a Hardware Engineering Manager.

    You will:

    • Analyze workloads and map them efficiently to hardware, proposing novel HW-friendly implementations and projecting performance
    • Architect, simulate and design amazing machine learning solutions for our autonomous driving technology
    • Work closely with compiler and model developers to influence engineering trade-offs and future model architectures
    • Build scalable tools for simulator modeling and performance evaluation
    • Interact with cross-functional engineering teams to identify opportunities and requirements

    You have:

    • BS degree in Computer Science or Computer Engineering or similar relevant technical field, or equivalent practical experience
    • 3+ years on designing/architecting complex, high performance architectures - CPUs, GPUs and/or ML accelerators - in the industry or through doctoral research
    • 1+ years experience with machine learning architectures, acceleration and model optimization
    • Strong C++ programming and algorithmic problem solving skills

    We prefer:

    • 1+ years modeling high performance architectures in cycle-aware simulators
    • Track record of analyzing workloads and architecting, delivering novel HW+SW solutions to vastly improve performance, efficiency
    • Familiarity with ML model architectures and their compute characteristics (bottlenecks, optimization opportunities)
    • Experience with microarchitecture design (SystemVerilog or HLS)
