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.\n\nHardware Engineering is an innovative and collaborative group of electrical, mechanical, reliability, software and vehicle engineers. We design, build, and perfect the products which are the eyes and ears of Waymo's autonomous driving technology, and integrate those products into vehicle platforms. We're seeking curious and talented teammates to keep us moving in the right direction.\n\nThis role follows a hybrid work schedule and you will report to a Systems Engineer.\n\nYou Will:\n\nBuild unified modeling and simulation tools for vehicle energy consumption and fleet-level Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).\n\nDevelop physics-based simulation models of energy consumption across all vehicle operating modes and environmental conditions.\n\nDevelop a city-level fleet simulator to evaluate interactions across operations models, fleet orchestration, vehicle platform architecture and infrastructure.\n\nUse these simulation tools to inform critical vehicle/system architecture decisions.\n\nCollaborate with SW, Product, Data Science and Operations teams, using these models to inform production fleet orchestration software and operations/infrastructure roadmaps.\n\nYou Have:\n\n5+ years of work experience in systems modeling and data science.\n\nExperience using Python/Matlab/similar programming language to build physics-based models and simulations.\n\nExperience in data analytics and data-based modeling.\n\nStrong fundamental education/training in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Physics or a related engineering field.\n\nExperience leading and delivering cross-functional workstreams/projects.\n\nExperience communicating complex technical analyses effectively.\n\nWe Prefer:\n\nExperience with applying machine learning models in real world applications\n\nExperience using agentic coding tools like Claude Code, Codex, Antigravity etc.\n\nExperience in physics-based modeling/simulation of electric vehicle powertrains or other electrical + mechanical + thermal domains.\n\nExperience applying Operations Research or other optimization approaches to real-world problems.\n\nWaymo employees are also eligible to participate in Waymo’s discretionary annual bonus program, equity incentive plan, and generous Company benefits program, subject to eligibility requirements.\n\nThe expected base salary range for this full‑time position across US locations is listed below. Actual starting pay will be based on job‑related factors, including exact work location, experience, relevant training and education, and skill level.
