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’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.\nPower capacity is one of the key constraints on Waymo's growth. Join the mission to improve road safety and drive transportation electrification by helping to deploy the infrastructure that powers Waymo's all-electric AV fleet.

Translate into clear, standardized site feasibility reports to inform property decisions. \nDrive an Efficient Utility Service Request Process: Document the new electric service process for utilities in the AMER region, including key dependencies and Waymo deliverables. Develop materials for service request applications. Identify potential process improvements. Monitor progress through the construction and energization phases.\nSupport Power and Utility Strategy: Support development of power supply strategies that include both grid supply and on-site/behind-the-meter generation and evaluate associated trade-offs. Evaluate utility tariffs, policies, and programs for opportunities to save cost and reduce power delivery timelines. \nYou have:\nBA/BS Degree: BA/BS degree in Electrical Engineering, Civil Engineering, or a related technical discipline (or equivalent practical experience).\nUtility Assessment Experience: 5+ years of experience in utility development or grid-connected infrastructure, with exposure to fleet or industrial loads.\nUtility Market Engagement Experience: Proven experience working directly with major utility providers within the AMER region.\nMulti-Stakeholder Delivery: Demonstrated success leading and managing complex, multi-stakeholder projects.\nWe prefer:\nAdvanced Degree: Master's degree in Engineering or a related field.\nProfessional Engineering License: Professional Engineer (PE) license or equivalent engineering credential.\nEV Charging Experience: Experience securing power for EV charging, fleet depots, or other high-demand electrical loads.\nMulti-Market Utility Work: Experience working across various markets within a region with differing processes, requirements, and timelines.\nTravel Requirement: \nUp to 25% travel.
