Waymo is an autonomous driving technology company with the mission to be the 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 One, a fully autonomous ride-hailing service, and can also be applied to a range of vehicle platforms and product use cases. The Waymo Driver has provided over one million rider-only trips, enabled by its experience autonomously driving tens of millions of miles on public roads and tens of billions in simulation across 13+ 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.
You will:
- Collaborate closely with application teams to understand how to map new and existing algorithms to GPU, allowing our cars to "see" further, drive smarter, and react faster
- Build high-performance primitives and abstractions that allow for scaling our code-base to constantly evolving workloads and hardware
- Improve and add new compiler optimizations to allow for producing optimal GPU assembly
- Analyze performance counters, GPU micro-architectural features, and SOTA algorithms to identify optimization opportunities
- Contribute to infrastructure that performs testing / static analysis to catch bugs early and creates automated alerts to encourage following best GPU performance practices
- Co-design hardware features and evaluate trade-offs for future generations of our compute platform
You have:
- Strong C++ programming skills
- Advanced degree in Computer Science, similar technical field of study, or equivalent practical experience
- Experience with GPU programming / optimization using CUDA or similar technologies
- Basic knowledge of GPU architecture / programming model
- Experience with using performance analysis tools and debuggers
- Experience with parallel computing/programming
We prefer:
- Experience with LLVM or SPIR-V open-source ecosystems or other compiler projects
- Operating systems or embedded software experience especially working on device drivers
- Skilled at GPU optimization techniques such as memory coalescing, register/shared memory tiling, pinned memory, and warp-level programming
- Experience with GPU libraries such as CUB, CUTLASS, Thrust, or Eigen
- Research experience in parallel algorithms, compilers, or computer architecture
- Experience with graphics workloads and shader programming
- ML frameworks/compiler/library
