Job Description
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 interns partner with leaders in the industry on projects that create impact to the company. We believe learning is a two-way street: applying your knowledge while providing you with opportunities to expand your skill-set. Interns are an important part of our culture and our recruiting pipeline. Join us at Waymo for a fun and rewarding internship!
You will: - Design and develop Deep Learning Models as well as Vision Language Models (VLMs/LLMs) for autonomous driving. Potential projects include:
- Leveraging VLM/LLM's world knowledge and reasoning capabilities for driving related applications
- Design and implementation of multi-modality (camera/radar/lidar) and multi-task perception models focusing on 3D object (open vocabulary) detection and tracking, segmentation, semantics understanding, video understanding, audio localization, scene understanding, traffic control, or trajectory prediction, etc.
- Pre-training and self-supervised learning techniques; few-shot learning techniques
- Gain experience on large scale machine learning systems and on different phases of model development: data mining, labeling, training and evaluation, with vast and high fidelity data from Waymo driving logs.
You have: - Pursuing a Masters or PhD program in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Machine Learning, or related technical fields
- Experience with Deep Learning, VLM/LLMs, and/or Computer Vision
- Experience with Python and deep learning frameworks such as JAX, Tensorflow, Pytorch
We prefer: - Strong track record of high quality ML / CV research. Publications at top-tier conferences like CVPR, ICCV, ECCV, ICLR, ICML, ICRA, IROS, RSS, NeurIPS.
- Experience with training large VLM/LLMs with distributed training
- Experience in task domains such as object detection, segmentation, multiple-object tracking, occupancy detection, semantics understanding, or trajectory prediction.
Note: This will be a hybrid onsite internship position. We will accept resumes on a rolling basis until the role is filled. To be in consideration for multiple roles, you will need to apply to each one individually - please apply to the top 3 roles you are interested in.
