Waymo's Onboard Software team is hiring a principal engineer to lead field response: analysis of and reaction to rare or unexpected events the autonomous fleet meets on the road. Work includes onboard software architecture, hardening code, playbooks, on-call metrics and rotations, and hiring or managing engineers if needed. The posting asks for a master's or PhD, 10+ years on large-scale production software systems, especially machine-learned ones, 5+ years leading a group, and influence without authority. It pairs AI engineering with real-world field response at fleet scale.
