About the role

Intern software engineering position at Waymo focusing on automated semantic extraction from simulation data, temporal graph modeling, and multi-modal retrieval for autonomous driving simulation evaluation. Hybrid onsite internship in Mountain View, CA.

Responsibilities

  • Design and implement an automated semantic extraction pipeline that parses large-scale simulation logs, vehicle trajectory data, and multi-agent behavioral events into structured graph representations (entities, temporal relationships, and causal interactions)
  • Develop temporal graph modeling techniques to capture time-varying multi-agent interactions, road context, and safety-critical driving events
  • Build a multi-modal hybrid retrieval engine (combining dense vector embeddings, keyword search, and graph traversal) to enable fast scenario discovery and serve as structured memory for automated failure analysis agents
  • Create interactive data exploration tools and visualization dashboards (e.g., Jupyter/Colab-based explorers) to help autonomy engineers and researchers analyze complex scenario distribution
  • Benchmark retrieval precision, recall, and query latency against traditional tabular and relational search baselines
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with simulation researchers, machine learning engineers, and software infrastructure teams to document system architecture and establish roadmap recommendations

Qualifications

  • Currently enrolled in a graduate program (PhD or Master’s) in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Robotics, Electrical Engineering, or a related quantitative field, with at least one academic term remaining
  • Strong software development experience in Python and/or C++ in a Linux development environment
  • Solid foundation in core computer science concepts, data structures, algorithm complexity, and distributed data systems
  • Hands-on experience with modern deep learning frameworks (such as PyTorch, JAX, or TensorFlow)

Skills

Required:PythonC++LinuxDeep learning frameworks
Nice to have:Graph/temporal graph modeling

Benefits

  • Interns are eligible to participate in the Company’s generous benefits programs, subject to eligibility requirements
