Responsibilities
- Design and build high-performance machine learning models for lane geometry detection and relational road-topology decoding.
- Set up data pipelines and train neural networks across vehicle sensor modalities and map priors.
- Create evaluation metrics, benchmark model accuracy and topological correctness, analyze failure cases, and iterate on architectures.
- Collaborate with research mentors and engineering teams to assess downstream planning impact and prepare insights for publication or internal deployment.
Requirements
- Currently pursuing a Master's or PhD in Computer Science, Robotics, Electrical Engineering, Machine Learning, or a related quantitative discipline.
- Strong programming proficiency in Python.
- Experience with modern deep learning frameworks such as PyTorch, JAX, or TensorFlow.
- Hands-on experience designing, training, and debugging deep learning architectures for computer vision, 3D perception, or graph neural networks.
- Foundational knowledge of 2D/3D geometry, coordinate transformations, and spatial or relational reasoning.
- Preferred: publications in top-tier machine learning, computer vision, or robotics conferences.
- Preferred: experience with vectorized HD map learning, lane topology estimation, dynamic roadgraph modeling, distributed model training, data infrastructure, autonomous vehicle perception stacks, sensor fusion, and downstream motion planning constraints.
Benefits
- Hybrid onsite internship position.
- Interns are eligible for the Company's benefits programs, subject to eligibility requirements.
- Applications are accepted on a rolling basis until the role is filled.
- Expected hourly pay is $70 for Master's interns and $85 for PhD interns.

About Waymo
Waymo develops the Waymo Driver, a full-stack autonomous driving system, and operates the Waymo One robotaxi service that offers paid, driverless rides in select U.S. cities. The company monetizes through ride-hailing fares and partnerships integrating its technology on multiple vehicle platforms. Founded in 2009 as Google’s self-driving project, Waymo is headquartered in Mountain View and is an Alphabet subsidiary, with over 10 million rider-only trips and 100+ million autonomous miles on public roads.
