Embedded Automotive Platforms, Senior Software Engineer

Overview

In this role you will build and maintain core C++/Python software that connects autonomy models to vehicle and embedded systems. You will develop infrastructure to run, test, and validate self-driving capabilities separately from ML model work. You’ll own reliability and performance of critical systems across Linux environments and create tooling for testing and diagnostics. You’ll collaborate with teams across London, Israel, and the US, potentially specialising in localisation/navigation, filtering/diagnostics, or control/inference. This is a hands-on role focused on foundational software that scales with Wayve’s autonomous driving platform.
