Software Engineering builds the brains of Waymo's fully autonomous driving technology. Our software allows the Waymo Driver to perceive the world around it, make the right decision for every situation, and deliver people safely to their destinations. We think deeply and solve complex technical challenges in areas like robotics, perception, decision-making and deep learning, while collaborating with hardware and systems engineers. If you're a software engineer or researcher who's curious and passionate about Level 4 autonomous driving, we'd like to meet you.

Waymo interns work with leaders in the industry on projects that deliver significant impact to the company. We believe learning is a two-way street: applying your knowledge while providing you with opportunities to expand your skillset. Interns are an important part of our culture and our recruiting pipeline. Join us at Waymo for a fun and rewarding internship!

This internship will be based on-site at our headquarters in Mountain View, CA.

You will:

• Work with a creative team of people who are responsible for the bring-up of new hardware platforms (vehicles, sensors, compute) and for building a multi-platform software stack.
• Develop a Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) that provides sensor data to Perception through a unified API.
• Work on a bleeding edge project at the intersection of traditional robotics and modern ML techniques.

You have:

• Progressing towards a MS or PhD in Computer Science or a related technical field.
• Experience programming in C++.
• Experience with sensor data processing (Lidar, camera, or Radar).

We prefer:

• Experience with autonomous vehicles (L4) or ADAS systems (L2/L3).
• Experience apply Machine Learning to Robotics or Perception problems.

Note: This will be a hybrid onsite internship position. We will accept resumes on a rolling basis until the role is filled. To be in consideration for multiple roles, you will need to apply to each one individually - please apply to the top 3 roles you are interested in.
