Waymo is an autonomous driving technology company with a mission to make it safe and easy for people and things to get where they’re going. Since our start as the Google Self-Driving Car Project in 2009, Waymo has been focused on building the World’s Most Experienced Driver in hopes of improving the world's access to mobility while saving thousands of lives now lost to traffic crashes. Our Waymo Driver powers Waymo One, our fully autonomous ride-hailing service, as well as Waymo Via, our trucking and local delivery service. To date, Waymo has driven over 20 million miles autonomously on public roads across 25 U.S. cities and conducted over 20 billion miles of simulation testing.
Waymo's Compute Team is tasked with a critical and exciting mission: We deliver the compute platform responsible for running the fully autonomous vehicle’s software stack. To achieve our mission, we architect and create high-performance custom silicon; we develop system-level compute architectures that push the boundaries of performance, power, and latency; and we collaborate closely with many other teammates to ensure we design and optimize hardware and software for maximum performance. We are a multidisciplinary team seeking curious and talented teammates to work on one of the world’s highest performance automotive compute platforms.
In this role, you'll:
- Work with researchers to determine compute acceleration needs
- Specify, architect, and design hardware accelerators that process sensor data and other system compute workloads
- Perform power, area and performance trade-off analyses of digital designs
- Create and run software that tests digital designs in simulation and bringup
- Integrate embedded processors and DSPs and develop toolchains
At a minimum we’d like you to have:
- BS degree in Computer Engineering or equivalent practical experience
- 6+ years of industry experience with Verilog and SystemVerilog, RTL digital microarchitecture. Additional experience with design verification (DV) is preferred
- Familiarity with C/C++, functional and/or transactional modeling
- Experience with High Level Synthesis is a plus
- Knowledge of computer architecture and on-chip communication buses
- Comfortable working in a Linux environment
