Senior Staff Technical Lead Manager, Waymo

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field
• 8+ years of experience in designing, training, and deploying ML-driven production systems
• 4+ years of experience leading technical teams and setting technical directions
• 2+ years of people management experience

Desirable

• The Perception Team at Waymo builds the system that "sees" the world around the self-driving car
• We conduct novel research to address real-world perception problems and collaborate with research teams at Alphabet
• Here at Waymo, we have access to millions of miles of driving data from a diverse set of sensors, enabling researchers like you to develop complex models and techniques at scale
• Improvements deployed to our system can immediately advance our large fleet of autonomous vehicles
• Within Perception, the Sensor Health team's job is to make sure that sensors "just work" for the entire self-driving car software stack
• We make sure that all sensors are properly calibrated and consistently monitored at all times
• We process data from next-generation sensors on next-generation vehicle platforms and work closely with both hardware and software teams to provide the best possible sensor data from our sensors to our upstream customers
• To this end, we develop sensor data alignment and calibration algorithms, a growing sensor health backend, and deploy our systems both into the Waymo Driver and our log processing backend
• You will report to a Senior Staff TLM
• Lead and build a team of ML engineers in charge of quick and efficient sensing anomaly detection
• Shape a Waymo Driver that performs reliably even under difficult adverse sensing conditions
• Drive and accelerate collaborations between perception, system engineering, evaluation, and Alphabet teams
