Tech Lead Manager- Onboard Software Performance

Job Summary

The Onboard Software Performance team ensures that systems running on ADV meet strict performance requirements such as producing necessary outputs within strict latency targets and using an appropriately allocated amount of compute resources (CPU/GPU/TPU/RAM etc) for each respective submodule. This role involves developing modular architecture improvements and frameworks that maximize performance and compute utilization.

Responsibilities

• Develop ADV's modular architecture improvements and frameworks that maximize performance and compute utilization
• Collaborate with onboard teams to identify and improve compute performance bottlenecks across the stack to improve performance/driving quality
• Collaborate with hardware teams to codesign hardware/software and optimize the software for best performance on our hardware platform
• Ensure our performance is strong at any driving complexity including as we scale to even more complex driving environments and encounter rarer events
• Develop necessary high scale performance evaluation, debugging and software change management processes
• Optimize system resource usage to simulation at scale in Cloud datacenters: minimize CPU utilization and latency, minimize RAM consumption, intelligently determine which computations should happen on CPU, GPU, and TPU

Requirements

• BS/MS in Comp Sci, EE, Robotics, Physics, Math, or related field (or equivalent experience)
• 6 years of software engineering experience on large scale/high complexity system (supported by hundreds of engineers)
• 2 years of software management experience with at least 4 years in infrastructure/systems/performance domain optimizing end to end system for high performance metrics
• 4 years of experience acting as technical lead in performance/software infrastructure domain
• 4 years of experience in C++
• Experience in low level optimization techniques, frameworks (SIMD/CUDA) and ML performance/frameworks
• Experience in large scale evaluation techniques/data science and building performance metrics/tooling
• Experience in large scale software re-architecture projects

Preferred

• Experience in robotics
• Experience in large scale evaluation techniques/data science and building performance metrics/tooling
• Experience in large scale software re-architecture projects

Benefits

Waymo employees are also eligible to participate in Waymo’s discretionary annual bonus program, equity incentive plan, and generous Company benefits program, subject to eligibility requirements.
