Role Description
The Vehicle Generalization team within Robotics Engineering is seeking a highly skilled and motivated Robotics Generalist to ensure the successful integration, characterization, and evaluation of our autonomous driving software across a growing range of new vehicle platforms. The Vehicle Generalization team enables efficient, scaleable, and predictable deployment of the Wayve autonomous driving stack across a wide range of vehicle platforms by maximizing the generalizability of our core autonomy where possible. The ideal candidate will be a generalist capable of quickly tackling complex, cross-functional challenges on-site at our Sunnyvale location, working closely with Measurement and Application Engineering teams.
Key Responsibilities
Lead vehicle generalization benchmark evaluation and metrics tooling. Creation, curation, and dedicated focus on cross-platform and vehicle-to-vehicle variability.
Able to dive deep into pragmatic variabilities with different platforms and get hands-on, and zoom out to paint a bigger picture for driving the larger generalization metrics story.
Cross-functional Collaboration: Work closely with a broad range of teams from OEM support engineering, to measurement, and controls.
Customer Program Support: Provide on-the-ground technical support enabling the autonomy stack for key customer programs (e.g., Nissan, Stellantis), which may require domestic and international travel.
About You Essential
Experience with data-driven development, including defining metrics, building tooling, and performing data analysis.
Core Robotics Expertise: Strong background and practical experience with control system design, state estimation (including odometry and localization), and sensor fusion.
Programming: Proficiency in C++ and Python.
System Thinking: Demonstrated strong robotics system thinking, enabling quick diagnosis and resolution of complex integration issues in dynamic environments.
Location/Travel: Willingness and ability to travel (domestic and international) for on-the-ground customer and vehicle support. Must be based in Sunnyvale, CA.
Excellent cross-functional communication and teamwork skills.
Desirable
Familiarity with mapping/navigation data and advanced odometry techniques.
Experience with advanced control techniques, particularly where motion planning/control is influenced by or performed by a neural network
This role is a full-time role based in Sunnyvale, CA (hybrid) and the reasonably estimated salary for this role ranges from $209,700 to $253,000, plus a competitive equity package. Actual compensation is based on the candidate's skills, qualifications, and experience.
Wayve is committed to creating an inclusive interview experience. If you require any accommodations or adjustments to participate fully in our interview process, please let us know.
We understand that everyone has a unique set of skills and experiences and that not everyone will meet all of the requirements listed above. If you’re passionate about self-driving cars and think you have what it takes to make a positive impact on the world, we encourage you to apply.
At Wayve we're committed to creating a diverse, fair and respectful culture that is inclusive of everyone based on their unique skills and perspectives, and regardless of sex, race, religion or belief, ethnic or national origin, disability, age, citizenship, marital, domestic or civil partnership status, sexual orientation, gender identity, veteran status, pregnancy or related condition (including breastfeeding) or any other basis as protected by applicable law.
