System Tooling Software Engineer

Waymo's Compute Team is tasked with a critical and exciting mission: We deliver the compute platform responsible for running the fully autonomous vehicle's software stack. To achieve our mission, we architect and create high-performance custom silicon; we develop system-level compute architectures that push the boundaries of performance, power, and latency; and we collaborate closely with many other teammates to ensure we design and optimize hardware and software for maximum performance. We are a multidisciplinary team seeking curious and talented teammates to work on one of the world's highest performance automotive compute platforms.

In this role you'll:

• Develop automation scripts for compute hardware testing
• Collaborate with compute system manufacturers and develop system software components for chip peripherals (e.g. I2C, GPIO, SPI, PVT sensors)
• Develop debugging tools (e.g. register tool, eye diagram tools, firmware flash tools) for chip bring-up
• Develop productivity tools for partner teams
• Develop and maintain dashboards for various testing results

At a minimum, we'd like you to have:

• Bachelors in Computer Science or Electrical Engineering
• Proficient in both C++ and Python programming languages
• Rapid prototyping and productization of command line tools and scripts

It's preferred if you have:

• Automation of workflows, performance data collection, and visualizations
• Instrumenting, tooling, and optimizing for maximum performance
• Familiarity with HW basics (PCIe, I2C, DRAM, MMU, Ethernet, interconnects)
• Understanding the HW test requirements in different ASIC project phases (e.g. DV, emulation, bring-up, manufacturing)
• Pre-silicon software development on emulators
