Internships at Waymo, including those outside the US, involve access to information regulated by US export control laws. These laws require that export controlled information cannot be shared without an export license to individuals whose most recent country of citizenship or permanent residence is Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria or Ukrainian territories: Crimea, the so-called Donetsk People's Republic ("DNR"), and the so-called Luhansk People's Republic ("LNR"). Please understand that applications for these licenses have extended processing times and/or are routinely denied by the U.S. government such that the required license will not be granted by the summer internship start date.

Note: License requirements do not apply (i.e., no export license is needed) if a person from one of these countries is also a US citizen, national, or lawful permanent resident or has been granted refugee or asylum status in the US.
