Full job description
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’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.
Power 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. In an increasingly power constrained landscape, this role provides the timely power assessments and drives the utility service application process needed to deploy infrastructure in a timely and cost-effective manner.
This role follows a hybrid work schedule and reports to the Strategic Partner Development Manager.
You will:
- Own the Regional Utility Assessment Process: Own the energy and utility assessment for candidate sites in the Europe region, evaluating whether the existing electrical and utility services meet Waymo's operational needs and sharing your findings with the pre-construction team. Leverage extended workforce support, as needed.
- Translate Demand Forecasts into Utility Needs: Review provided operational demand forecasts and translate them into technical utility capacity plans, physical infrastructure sizing requirements, and specific site-level utility needs.
- Evaluate Power Capacity & Upgrade Costs: Assess existing electrical capacities on prospective properties, determine the feasibility of securing additional power from local utility providers, and estimate any potential capital costs or connection fees required to increase capacity. Translate into clear, standardized site feasibility reports to inform property decisions.
- Drive an Efficient Utility Service Request Process: Document the new electric service process for utilities in the Europe 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.
- Support 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.
