Embedded Software Technical Lead & Manager (Simulation)

• Hardware Engineering is a diverse, and collaborative group of electrical, mechanical, reliability, software and vehicle engineers
• We design, build, and perfect the products which are the eyes and ears of Waymo’s autonomous driving technology, and integrate those products into vehicle platforms
• We’re looking for curious and talented teammates to keep us moving in the right direction
• The Embedded Simulation team enables Waymo to quickly and reliably scale the Waymo Driver across new vehicle & hardware platforms, and to accelerate development of our embedded and reliability software systems
• We build both dedicated test properties for embedded and hardware use cases, and also incorporate our technology into full-system behavioral simulation
• Lead & manage team responsible for embedded HIL/SIL testing and simulation
• Set strategy for expansion of test & sim infrastructure to support new products and Waymo’s scale
• Develop Waymo internal graph-based simulation framework in C++ and improve simulation realism by implementing models of a vehicle and environmental conditions
• Combine past logged data with the output of the models running in a loop for a more representative simulation
• Integrate SIL and HIL simulation with CI/CD pipelines
• Ensure test & sim infrastructure is highly available and reliable
