Software Engineer, LLM/VLM

The Perception Team at Waymo builds the system that "sees" the world around the self-driving car. We conduct novel research to address real-world perception problems and collaborate with research teams at Alphabet. Here at Waymo, we have access to millions of miles of driving data from a diverse set of sensors, enabling researchers like you to develop complex models and techniques at scale. Improvements deployed to our system can immediately help our large fleet of autonomous vehicles.

In this hybrid role, you will report to a Technical Lead Manager.

You will:

• Develop and deploy deep learning models, including vision language models (VLMs) and Large Language Models (LLMs)
• Develop data mining, labeling, training and eval pipelines to support the onboard development
• Collaborate and work in partnership with research teams across Alphabet

You have:

• BS degree in Computer Science or a similar discipline, or an equivalent amount of deep learning experience
• 3+ years experience
• Experience with Large Language Models (LLM) or Vision Language Models (VLM)
• Experience with Python
• Hands-on experience with deep learning frameworks such as Jax, PyTorch, Tensorflow

We prefer:

• PhD degree in Computer Science or a similar discipline, or an equivalent amount of deep learning experience
• Publications on top-tier conferences like CVPR/ICCV/ECCV/ICLR/ICML/NeurIPS/ICLR/AAAI/IJCV/PAMI
• Github repositories or Tech Blogs of LLMs/ VLMs
• Experience with C++
