Senior Software Engineer, Sensor Simulation Platform

The Sensor Simulator Platform Team maintains the core of the simulation pipeline that allow Waymo to drive millions of simulated miles each year. The team is responsible for both the rendering/simulation engine as well as the pipeline that lets a variety of internal customers to run SensorSim at scale.

Help build and maintain efficient simulators capable of running millions of simulated miles to evalute the safety of Waymo's onboard models

Work with multi-modal data processing and simulation, including cameras, lidar, and radar

Interface with AI and machine learning teams that develop parts of the simulation pipeline

Experience in approximating the real world with data simulation, which might include physics simulation, animation capture, light transport, photogrammetry, NeRFs, or Gaussian splats

Experience in working on efficient asset management pipelines for data storage and processing

Prior experience in working on or integrating with ML pipelines and a general understanding of how such pipelines are trained and improved

Experience in scaling complex data processing pipelines and an understanding of the trade-offs in structuring these pipelines to operate synchronously or asynchronously
