Embedded Software Engineer / Tech Lead (Onboard Test Automation)

Wayve

Requirements Experience testing embedded software systems, ideally on Linux or QNX-based platforms

  • Strong programming skills in Python, C++, or similar languages for test development and automation
  • Experience working with embedded hardware platforms and understanding hardware/software interactions
  • Proven ability to debug and triage complex issues across system layers
  • Understanding of software testing principles, including automation, integration testing, and system validation
  • (Desirable) Experience with hardware-in-the-loop (HiL) testing environments
  • (Desirable) Familiarity with sensor systems or data pipelines (e.g., camera, radar, or similar)
  • (Desirable) Experience working with CI/CD systems (e.g., Buildkite) and test pipeline integration
  • (Desirable) Exposure to robotics, autonomous systems, or real-time software environments
What the job involves As an Embedded Software Test Engineer / Tech Lead at Wayve, you will play a key role in validating onboard software systems before they reach full-vehicle testing
  • You’ll work across a range of embedded compute platforms and operating systems to ensure software is reliable, integrated, and ready for real-world deployment
  • This is a high-impact role where your work directly improves software quality and enables faster iteration across multiple teams
  • You’ll help scale testing by building automated tests and empowering developers to validate their work earlier in the development cycle
  • Design, develop, and execute automated tests for onboard software subsystems (OS, middleware, sensors, and integration points)
  • Validate software behavior on embedded hardware platforms within hardware-in-the-loop environments
  • Collaborate with software engineers to identify test gaps and build coverage for new and existing features
  • Debug and triage system-level issues across software and hardware boundaries
  • Enable developer self-service testing by contributing to CI pipelines and reusable test frameworks
  • Support expansion of test coverage by leveraging existing validation tests and shifting them earlier in the development cycle
