Software Engineer Summer Intern 2027 ($70-$85/hr)

Waymo is an autonomous driving technology company with the mission to be the world's most trusted driver. Since starting as the Google Self-Driving Car Project in 2009, Waymo has focused on building the Waymo Driver, described as the world's most experienced driver, to improve access to mobility and save thousands of lives lost to traffic crashes. The Waymo Driver powers Waymo's fully autonomous ride-hail service and can also be applied to a range of vehicle platforms and product use cases. It has provided over ten million rider-only trips, backed by over 100 million miles of autonomous driving on public roads and tens of billions of miles in simulation across 15+ U.S. states.

Software Engineering builds the brains of Waymo's fully autonomous driving technology. Our software lets the Waymo Driver perceive the world around it, make the right decision in every situation, and bring people safely to their destinations. The team tackles complex technical challenges in robotics, perception, decision-making and deep learning, while working closely with hardware and systems engineers. If you are a software engineer or researcher who is curious about and passionate about Level 4 autonomous driving, we would like to meet you.

Waymo interns work alongside industry leaders on projects that create real impact for the company. Learning goes both ways: you apply your knowledge while gaining opportunities to build your skill set. Interns are an important part of our culture and our recruiting pipeline.

What you will do

• Contribute to the infrastructure for a "virtual driver's test" for the Waymo Driver, including implementing a project for scalable simulation data pipelines that evaluate the driving capability of the Waymo Driver.
• Apply software engineering best practices to improve code health and developer experience in the virtual driver's test.

This is a hybrid onsite internship. Resumes are accepted on a rolling basis until the role is filled. To be considered for multiple roles, you must apply to each one individually, and you are encouraged to apply to the top 3 roles you are interested in.
