Software Engineering Intern (System Intelligence and Machine Learning, 2027 Summer Intern)

• The Onboard Software Integrity team’s goal is to build out architectures, tools, and workflows to prevent, identify, and guide fixes to ensure software integrity across Waymo
• We focus the organization on critical areas such as the numerical fidelity of ML models across devices, non-determinism in both onboard and offboard software, and overall onboard reliability. We are accountable for the onboard software health while enabling high development velocity
• Design and build infrastructure and tooling to diagnose software non-determinism across autonomous driving systems
• Investigate and resolve non-deterministic execution patterns across Waymo codebases
