Systems Test Engineering Lead, Vendors and Process Improvement

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.

Waymo's Systems Engineering team works together to blend software and hardware systems in groundbreaking new ways. We set the high performance standards that ensure our vehicles run smoothly and keep passengers safe, then design and perform the tests that validate that performance. We're looking for talented teammates who'll help us maintain strong teamwork and are passionate about driving results.

This is a hybrid role, reporting to a Systems Test Engineering Manager.

  • Develop new capability in a vendor test engineering team to effectively take on new aspects of driverless software release validation
  • Develop strategic relationships with key vendor partners, and present vendor engineering strategy to high level executive stakeholders within Waymo
  • Work closely with engineering managers and engineers in the Systems Engineering Behavior organization to understand their needs and improve their team's efficiency on release validation methodologies and testing

You have:

  • Experience leading a team of engineers or engineering vendors and effectively developing their capability to effectively take on new and complex tasks
  • 5+ years of experience in Test Engineering for robotics, autonomous vehicles, or other complex hardware/software systems
  • Ability to develop and train others to develop automated test campaigns

We prefer:

  • Experience in the AV/ADAS industry
  • Advanced Engineering degree
  • 10+ years of industry experience
