INTRODUCTION
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.
Waymo's Systems Engineering team works together to blend software and hardware systems in groundbreaking new ways. We set the high performance standards that ensure our vehicles run smoothly and keep passengers safe, then design and perform the tests that validate that performance.

- Develop metrics, test strategies and new methodologies to support rapid scaling and rare, but critical, edge cases
- Design and implement metrics, test plans, and simulated scenarios for testing the autonomous vehicle in off-nominal situations, such as after a fault occurs or when remote assistance is needed, across multiple platforms and in support of rapid commercialization
- Use your knowledge of autonomous vehicles, engineering and test strategy development to review and provide feedback on system requirements and feature validation plans
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS
You have:
- An advanced degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Robotics, or other relevant technical field OR equivalent practical experience involving perception or robotic systems
- Experience with software development for robotics OR experience with software verification and validation for software running on robotic, safety critical or high reliability systems

Frame your portfolio around autonomous systems data
Waymo's analytics roles center on sensor fusion, fleet telemetry, and safety metrics. Tailor your portfolio projects to reflect large-scale operational data pipelines or real-time event processing rather than generic business intelligence work.
Search Waymo's open roles through Migrate Mate
Waymo posts Data Analytics Engineer openings across multiple teams. Use Migrate Mate to filter specifically for Waymo roles that include visa sponsorship, so you're only applying to positions where sponsorship is actively available.
Prepare your degree equivalency documentation now
Specialty occupation status for Data Analytics Engineer roles requires a directly related degree. If your credential is from outside the U.S., get a foreign credential evaluation completed before you receive an offer to avoid delays during LCA filing.
Understand where the H-1B timeline intersects with your start date
If you need cap-subject H-1B sponsorship, the USCIS lottery runs in March with an October 1 start date at the earliest. Align your offer negotiation and notice period around this window so your start date is realistic.

Find Data Analytics Engineer at Waymo JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Does Waymo sponsor H-1B visas for Data Analytics Engineers?
Yes, Waymo sponsors H-1B visas for Data Analytics Engineers. The company has an established sponsorship track record for this function, including both cap-subject petitions and cap-exempt transfers for candidates already holding H-1B status with another employer. If you're subject to the lottery, Waymo can file a registration in March for an October 1 start date through USCIS.
How do I apply for Data Analytics Engineer jobs at Waymo?
Applications go through Waymo's careers portal, where roles are listed by team and location. You can also browse current Data Analytics Engineer openings at Waymo that include visa sponsorship directly through Migrate Mate, which filters for sponsoring employers. Tailor your resume to reflect experience with large-scale data infrastructure, SQL, and distributed systems relevant to autonomous vehicle operations.
Which visa types does Waymo sponsor for Data Analytics Engineers?
Waymo sponsors H-1B, H-1B1, and E-3 visas for nonimmigrant work authorization, covering Australian and Singaporean nationals who qualify for those cap-exempt categories. For permanent residence, Waymo supports EB-2 and EB-3 Green Card pathways, typically through the PERM labor certification process filed with the DOL. The appropriate visa depends on your nationality, degree, and career stage.
What qualifications does Waymo expect for Data Analytics Engineer roles?
Waymo's Data Analytics Engineer roles typically require a bachelor's degree or higher in computer science, statistics, mathematics, or a related quantitative field. Hands-on experience with SQL, Python, and data pipeline tools like dbt or Spark is expected. Familiarity with telemetry data, safety metrics, or operational analytics in a high-volume production environment strengthens your candidacy significantly for roles tied to the autonomous vehicle platform.
How long does the visa sponsorship process take for a Waymo Data Analytics Engineer role?
Timeline depends on the visa type. E-3 and H-1B1 applications are processed at a U.S. consulate abroad, typically within a few weeks of scheduling an appointment. H-1B transfers for candidates already in status can be filed with USCIS and, with premium processing, resolved in about 15 business days. Cap-subject H-1B petitions follow USCIS's April-to-October timeline, so factor in several months between offer and start date.
