See open jobs at Waymo.See open jobs similar to "Senior Software Engineer, Linux Kernel" SpaceTalent.Waymo is an autonomous driving technology company with the mission to be the 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's Most Experienced Driver™—to improve access to mobility while saving thousands of lives now lost to traffic crashes. The Waymo Driver powers Waymo One, a fully autonomous ride-hailing service, and can also be applied to a range of vehicle platforms and product use cases. The Waymo Driver has provided over one million rider-only trips, enabled by its experience autonomously driving tens of millions of miles on public roads and tens of billions in simulation across 13+ U.S. states.
Waymo Platforms is responsible for low-level software and infrastructure on various components of the Waymo self-driving system. The team's scope covers everything from low-level system software to high-bandwidth data logging, IPC (low-latency and high-throughput), networking, scheduling, process management, performance analysis, full-system debugging, etc. We work closely with the Hardware, Compute, Sensor, Perception, Behavior and Machine Learning teams to build the most performant and low-latency self-driving solution in the industry.
In this role, you will work on the Core Platform Team. The Core Platform team owns the primary compute node of Waymo's on-vehicle compute platform – a highly integrated, high performance embedded system.If you enjoy building robust and high-performance embedded systems using state-of-the-art compute hardware and working closely with engineering teams that will be direct consumers of your work, you'll be a great fit for this role.
In this role you'll:
- Work on a small team of System Software and Linux Kernel Engineers to design, implement and test system software components from early prototyping to production launch of driverless vehicles
- Design, implement and test Linux Kernel device drivers and other components for high-performance embedded systems including custom ASICs and accelerators.
- Take on complex and ambiguous problems and come up with clean and robust solutions.
At a minimum, we'd like you to have:
- BA/BS degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering or relevant technical field or equivalent practical experience
- 8+ years of relevant work experience
- Proficiency in C and C++
- Strong understanding of programming in an asynchronous environment with multiple processes, threads, timers, interrupts, etc.
- Experience with Linux kernel and device driver development
- Excellent debugging skills
It’s preferred if you have:
- Experience with common hardware protocols/interfaces (PCIe, Ethernet, I2C, etc)
- Working knowledge of complex hardware-accelerated compute pipelines (GPUs, ML accelerators, image/data processors, etc.)
- Performance optimization of systems and complex pipelines
- Working knowledge of hardware bring-up and debugging
