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.
Our Simulation team is at the heart of this mission, enabling us to safely and rapidly iterate on the Waymo Driver. We run billions of miles of simulations, creating a massive and complex demand for technical infrastructure resources (CPU, GPU, TPU, Storage).
We are establishing a new team called CORPIO (SimEval Capacity Operations, Resource Planning, Infrastructure Optimization). This team is tasked with building a critical capability for Waymo: data-driven, strategic capacity planning and resource optimization. We are looking for a Senior Data Scientist to bridge the gap between sophisticated mathematical modeling and production-scale infrastructure automation. You will be responsible for building the technical systems that forecast demand, optimize resource allocation, and automate infrastructure management, ensuring our simulation environment is both high-performance and cost-effective.
