Software Engineer, Perception Evaluation

Waymo is an autonomous driving technology company with the mission to be the world's most trusted driver. The Perception team at Waymo builds technology that powers the Waymo Driver, allowing it to perceive the world around it and make the right decision for every situation. The Sensor Health team ensures that all sensors are properly calibrated and consistently monitored, and they develop sensor data alignment and calibration algorithms, a growing sensor health backend, and deploy their systems into the Waymo Driver and log processing backend.
