Senior Staff TLM, Perception, Object Detection

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 self-driving car. 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. We have access to millions of miles of driving data from a diverse set of sensors, enabling engineers like you to develop methods for efficiently and continuously learning from large scale real-world data, develop models and model training at scale, analyze real-world behavior and develop systems for handling the complexities of interacting with the real-world, and optimize models for our onboard and offboard hardware.
