A summer 2027 PhD software engineering internship at Waymo, working within the autonomous driving software stack. The intern implements uncertainty-aware algorithms that improve transformer-based multi-task classifiers, carries changes through end to end including evaluation, and verifies that data and model implementations match the experiment plan. The posting requires current enrolment in a PhD program in computer science, robotics, electrical engineering or a related quantitative field, strong Python, hands-on deep learning framework experience (TensorFlow, JAX), transformer debugging with TensorBoard, and version control practice. It prefers uncertainty measurement and data-driven model improvement over architecture-only work. The role is distinctively model-and-evaluation focused, with on-site perks in Mountain View.
