The Role
Wayve's Verification and Release Test team sits at the intersection of Hardware, Embedded Software, and Machine Learning Models. Testing spans component, system, and vehicle levels, and we pride ourselves on finding the most efficient and effective ways to deliver the most valuable results for the company.
We are looking for a System Test Engineer to join our growing team and help scale our embedded software verification efforts. This role has the opportunity to expand into broader areas of the system — including sensing and model behaviour testing — depending on company needs and the individual's experience. The ideal candidate is a self-starter with a sharp eye for improvement across multiple engineering domains.
Key Responsibilities
Develop automation for system functionality tests at component, integration, and system levels across software and hardware boundaries.
Develop open-loop and closed-loop replay HiL tests, reliability and fault-injection tests, and traceability dashboards for verification and release.
Automate Hardware-in-the-Loop (HiL) test setups to support coverage expansion and debug workflows.
Lead root cause investigations for failures identified during test campaigns, collaborating across hardware, software, and DevOps teams.
Optimise CI/CD-integrated test workflows to ensure rapid, reliable, and repeatable test execution.
Integrate third-party verification tools including JAMA (requirements), MC/DC (coverage), and MISRA (style compliance); manage artefacts via Artifactory and Azure.
Define and track KPIs and quality metrics for system testing, supporting data-driven validation and release decisions.
Uncover potential software and hardware bugs through increased test coverage and report findings through JIRA.
Identify and implement infrastructure improvements to enhance test coverage, failure traceability, and compliance reporting.
Review, create, and adhere to Risk Assessments to ensure all testing activities are conducted safely and responsibly.
About You
In order to set you up for success as a System Test Engineer at Wayve, we're looking for the following skills and experience.
Essential Skills & Experience
Hands-on experience with system-level verification and validation in robotics, embedded software, or mechatronic systems.
Previous experience with HiL testing and tooling using CAN, Ethernet, GMSL, dSPACE, Vector, Xylon, or similar.
Strong proficiency in Python, with experience developing automation test frameworks using pytest.
Proven ability in interface-level testing, including hardware/software interactions and embedded interfaces.
Experience integrating software quality assurance tools and standards (ASPICE, SOTIF, ISO 26262, JAMA, X-RAY).
Knowledge of replay using open and closed loop HIL system using dSPACE or other emulators
Familiarity with automotive safety and process standards including ISO 26262, ASPICE, and SOTIF.
Proficient in CI/CD principles and related tooling (e.g., GitLab CI, Buildkite, Bazel).
Experience with test automation dashboards, logging, and reporting infrastructure (e.g., Grafana, Looker, Datadog, JIRA).
Experience developing or testing automotive software across embedded and system levels.
Strong cross-functional communication skills; ability to work collaboratively across software, hardware, autonomy, DevOps, and product teams.
Desirable Skills & Experience
Experience working with autonomous vehicle systems, ADAS, or related technologies.
Familiarity with Python or similar scripting tools for data processing and automation.
Understanding of vehicle networks (CAN, LIN, Ethernet) and diagnostic protocols (UDS, OBD-II).
Knowledge of vehicle instrumentation, data logging, and calibration tools (e.g., Vector tools, dSPACE).
Experience contributing to continuous improvement of test methods, safety procedures, or operational efficiency.
Awareness of data management and version control systems (e.g., Git, Jenkins, or similar).
This is a full-time role based in our office in London. At Wayve we want the best of all worlds so we operate a hybrid working policy that combines time together in our offices and workshops to fuel innovation, culture, relationships and learning, and time spent working from home.
