Waymo is an autonomous driving technology company with the mission to be the world'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'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'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. - Participate in the Physical Design of advanced silicon for our self-driving cars - Contribute to the design and closure of the full chip and individual blocks from RTL-to-GDS with a focus on floorplanning and assembly - Collaborate with internal logic and internal and external PD teams to achieve the best PPA possible - 5+ years of experience on PD design tasks in advanced silicon nodes with a minimum of 2 tapeouts - Expertise in generating and maintaining design-rule-check (DRC) clean floorplans (DEF) including pin placement and layer assignment and an understanding of abutted and non-abutted construction methodologies - Familiarity with entire RTL-to-GDS flow with hands-on experience with Synthesis, PNR, STA, and timing closure - Ability to automate EDA tasks through scripting.
