    About This Role

    Waymo is an autonomous driving technology company with the mission to be the world's 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’s fully autonomous ride-hail service and can also be applied to a range of vehicle platforms and product use cases. The Waymo Driver has provided over ten million rider-only trips, enabled by its experience autonomously driving over 100 million miles on public roads and tens of billions in simulation across 15+ U.S. states.

    The Waymo Safety team works to promote and help to continuously improve the safety of Waymo’s fully autonomous driving technology. Our experts develop safety goals and strategies, and conduct safety engineering analyses to ensure safety is being considered throughout the design and development of our vehicles. The team develops and promotes safety strategies and policies for autonomous vehicles for its work with regulatory authorities, lawmakers, law enforcement and public and non-profit organizations. Our Safety Team also helps advise on compliance with applicable environmental, health, and safety regulations.

    • Explore and innovate novel modeling concepts and ideas in research projects with external academic partners
    • Publish your work in scientific journals and conferences

    You have:

    • A doctoral degree in a field that involves a combination of computational/mathematical modeling and cognitive science/ behavioral science
    • At least 5 years of experience, and a strong publication record, in computational modeling of human and/or animal cognition and behavior
    • Strong coding and mathematical skills
    • Strong collaboration and communication skills

    We prefer:

    • Experience in active inference-based modeling
    • Experience in modern AI-based modeling (world models, learning paradigms etc.)
    • Experience in traffic safety research
