Wayve
About Us Founded in 2017, Wayve is the leading developer of Embodied AI technology. Our advanced AI software and foundation models enable vehicles to perceive, understand, and navigate any complex environment, enhancing the usability and safety of automated driving systems. Our vision is to create autonomy that propels the world forward. Our intelligent, mapless, and hardware-agnostic AI products are designed for automakers, accelerating the transition from assisted to automated driving. In our fast-paced environment big problems ignite us—we embrace uncertainty, leaning into complex challenges to unlock groundbreaking solutions. We aim high and stay humble in our pursuit of excellence, constantly learning and evolving as we pave the way for a smarter, safer future. At Wayve, your contributions matter. We value diversity, embrace new perspectives, and foster an inclusive work environment; we back each other to deliver impact. Make Wayve the experience that defines your career! The role Wayve is seeking a Robotics Software Engineer for our Online Calibration team to support scaling across our autonomous vehicle fleet. You will turn calibration and estimation methods into reliable, observable and resource-efficient components of the on-vehicle runtime, operating continuously on constrained, hardware-accelerated platforms. Working across calibration, state estimation, robot software, hardware acceleration and vehicle-platform teams, you will shape the architecture and roadmap for a foundational capability that directly affects vehicle performance, resilience and safety. Key Responsibilities
- Extend the capabilities of the existing online calibration node, delivering robust production software within the architecture and technical direction set by the team.
- Adapt and integrate suitable calibration and estimation algorithms for continuous or on-demand onboard execution.
- Develop reliable handling of asynchronous sensor data, accelerator-produced features and noisy, time-varying calibration parameters.
- Strengthen validation, gating, persistence and interfaces between the calibration node, onboard state, runtime consumers, logging and fleet-facing systems.
- Profile and optimise critical paths for constrained compute, memory, storage and latency budgets without compromising correctness or debuggability.
- Build comprehensive simulation, replay, bench and on-vehicle tests, and improve metrics, diagnostics and fleet-level observability across nominal and failure scenarios.
- Strong practical expertise in sensor calibration, state estimation or a closely related robotics domain, including calibration of cameras, LiDAR, IMUs, vehicle parameters or multi-sensor systems.
- Strong understanding of filtering and estimation methods, such as Kalman-family filters, Bayesian estimation, smoothing, robust estimation or factor-graph optimisation.
- Strong modern C++ software-engineering skills and proficiency in Python for prototyping, analysis and test tooling.
- Experience productionising algorithm-heavy robotics software for vehicles, robots, drones, aerospace systems or comparable edge platforms, including clear lifecycle, failure-handling and recovery behaviour.
- Experience with asynchronous, high-throughput sensor data and hardware-accelerated pipelines, with the ability to optimise constrained compute and memory systems without losing correctness or debuggability.
- Strong software architecture, API design, testing, debugging and performance-profiling skills, with evidence of end-to-end ownership and effective cross-functional collaboration.
- Experience in visual odometry, SLAM, localisation, sensor fusion, ego-motion estimation or geometric computer vision.
- Experience with GPU, DSP, NPU or other hardware-accelerated robotics workloads, including zero-copy or shared-memory data paths and optimisation for production runtime constraints.
- Experience developing and operating production software in a scaled robotics or autonomous-systems company, ideally involving embedded Linux, edge-state management, rollback, automotive safety or fault-injection testing.
