Senior Staff TL, Chassis

<div class=&quot;content-intro&quot;><p>Waymo is an autonomous driving technology company with the mission to be the world&#39;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&#39;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.</p></div><p data-pm-slice=&quot;1 1 []&quot;>The Chassis team provides the foundational infrastructure and tools that enable the Waymo organization to release software frequently and with confidence. You will lead the technical direction and implementation of a city-scale simulation environment that serves as the centerpiece for Waymo&#39;s release validation process.
