Waymo's Predictive Planning team (PrePlan) builds and deploys machine-learning models that forecast the state of the world and plan how the autonomous driver behaves. The role involves designing and evaluating generative models for prediction and planning, turning messy driving problems into defined ML tasks, using foundation models and reinforcement learning, and writing tested production code. Applicants need a PhD or equivalent, a record of top-tier publications, deep-learning framework experience (JAX or PyTorch) and Python or C++. Publishing and deploying at fleet scale set it apart.
