Software Engineer, Simulation, Limited Duration (Backend) - job 2 of 2
Waymo is an autonomous driving technology company with the mission to be the most trusted driver. Since its start as the Google Self-Driving Car Project in 2009, Waymo has focused on building the Waymo Driver—The World's Most Experienced Driver™—to improve access to mobility while saving thousands of lives now lost to traffic crashes. The Waymo Driver powers Waymo One, a fully autonomous ride-hailing service, and can also be applied to a range of vehicle platforms and product use cases. The Waymo Driver has provided over one million rider-only trips, enabled by its experience autonomously driving tens of millions of miles on public roads and tens of billions in simulation across 13+ U.S. states.
The Simulation team at Waymo builds technology that supports the development of the Waymo Driver. Our tools help simulate complex real-world scenarios, promoting safer and smarter decision-making. If you're a software engineer passionate about Level 4 autonomous driving, we'd love to hear from you. This is a limited-duration, at-will role on the Simulation team, expected to last approximately 2 years.
In this hybrid role, you will report to a Simulation Engineering Manager.
You will:
-
Be a core contributor to our simulation-focused stack, building tools and systems that support high-fidelity virtual testing, scalable scenario generation, learned agent simulation, sensor and environment modeling, and integrated evaluation pipelines—promoting robust development and validation of the Waymo Driver.
You have:
-
1–5 years of experience in a full-time software development role with strong proficiency in either Python or C++
-
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience
We prefer:
-
Experience in product-focused software development, contributing to tools and infrastructure that support large-scale simulation and testing
-
Interest in solving backend challenges in simulation systems, such as optimizing performance, building scalable distributed architectures, or working close to hardware and runtime environments
