Machine Learning Engineer, Sensor Pipelines

Sensor Pipelines

We apply sensor fusion and ML approaches to address critical challenges in Perception, such as detections of collisions, antagonistic behaviors like vandalism, sensing occlusions, etc. Our work involves cutting-edge research (Gen AI) to solve real-world problems and requires close collaboration with onboard teams across Alphabet.

We have access to millions of miles of driving data from a diverse set of sensors, enabling engineers like you to develop sophisticated models and techniques at scale.

Responsibilities

• Apply sensor fusion and machine learning techniques to build multi-modal sensor fusion architectures and spatial-temporal representation learners to solve real-world challenges
• Develop and deploy machine learning models, including using Generative Artificial Intelligence (Gen AI) systems, and non-ML systems to solve those challenging problems
• Develop data mining, labeling, training, and evaluation pipelines to support the onboard development
• Collaborate and work in partnership with product, infrastructure, and research teams across Waymo

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or a similar discipline, or an equivalent amount of deep learning experience
• 3+ years of experience in Machine Learning and/or Computer Vision
• Experience with C++ and Python
• Experience with ML frameworks like PyTorch or JAX

Preferred

• MS or PhD Degree in Machine Learning, Robotics, Computer Science or a similar discipline
• Publications at top-tier conferences like CVPR, ICCV, ECCV, ICLR, ICML, ICRA, IROS, RSS, NeurIPS, AAAI, IJCV, PAMIG
• GitHub repositories or tech blogs of LLMs/VLMs
