Machine Learning Engineer, Model Optimization

Waymo is an autonomous driving technology company with the mission to be the world's most trusted driver. The Perception team builds the system which learns the spatial-temporal representation and their semantic meanings of the surrounding environment of the autonomously driving vehicle (ADV). We work jointly with downstream teams on the optimization and integration into the Waymo Driver. We conduct our own research to address real-world problems and collaborate with research teams at Alphabet.

Optimize FLOPs utilization in model training and model inference through model architecture/hardware co-development, optimize for a naturally sparse representation; Optimize model inference for different onboard and offboard (simulation) platforms; Analyze and optimize real-time inference of complex model architectures with many model components as well as on the critical path within an onboard system.
