About the job
Waymo is a pioneering autonomous driving technology company dedicated to becoming the world’s most reliable driver. Originating from the Google Self-Driving Car Project in 2009, Waymo is committed to enhancing mobility access and saving lives lost in traffic accidents. The Waymo Driver—the world's most experienced driver—powers our fully autonomous ride-hailing service and can be adapted to various vehicle platforms and applications. To date, the Waymo Driver has successfully completed over ten million rider-only trips, thanks to its extensive experience of autonomously navigating more than 100 million miles on public roads and billions of miles in simulations across over 15 U.S. states.
The RO Performance team plays a crucial role in understanding and enhancing Waymo's self-driving technology. We are responsible for building and maintaining the essential infrastructure needed to process and analyze vast datasets from real-world driving logs and simulations. Our systems generate key performance metrics and power dashboards critical for tracking product performance, pinpointing improvement areas, and facilitating data-driven decision-making. The insights we provide directly impact Waymo's operational deployments, weekly performance evaluations, and ultimately enhance the safety and reliability of our autonomous vehicles.
