Computer Vision / Deep Learning Intern, Waymo

• Enrolled in a PhD program in Computer Science, Robotics, or a similar technical field of study or enrolled in a master’s program with a strong publication record
• Experience in Python
• Experience building ML models with JAX, PyTorch or Tensorflow

Desirable

• Machine Learning models are at the core of Waymo's fully autonomous driving technology
• Our models allow 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 perception, planning and control while collaborating with hardware and systems engineers
• If you're 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
• Design and implement state-of-the-art multi-modality (camera/radar/lidar) and multi-task perception models. Potential project areas include:
• 3D object detection and tracking,
• Open vocabulary detection leveraging world knowledge models,
• 3D occupancy detection,
• Semantic segmentation,
• Large-scale foundation models,
• Pre-training and self-supervised learning through forecasting
• Train and evaluate ML models on our vast and high fidelity data from Waymo driving logs
• Gain experience using large scale ML infrastructure and working in a team environment
