  • Linux-based robotic and automotive systems with multi-process and distributed architectures.
  • ROS2 or similar middleware, node development, message interfaces, and system integration.
  • Sensor calibration, synchronisation, data validation, and system-level debugging.
  • Automotive-grade compute platforms such as NVIDIA DRIVE and Qualcomm Snapdragon Ride.
  • Vehicle communication systems including CAN and Automotive Ethernet.
  • Shared abstractions and frameworks that improve reliability across programs.

Requirements

  • Strong software-development experience in C++, Python, or Rust.
  • Delivered production-quality software on Linux-based robotic, embedded, or automotive platforms.
  • Understand ROS2 or similar robotics middleware and distributed-system integration.
  • Hands-on experience integrating software with vehicle or embedded hardware.
  • Can diagnose complex problems using logs, telemetry, on-target tests, and systematic experimentation.
  • Understand vehicle sensors, networking, and the practical realities of platform bring-up.

Benefits

  • Salaries benchmarked against the market annually
  • Meaningful equity, sharing in the ownership and long-term success of Wayve
  • Relocation support and visa sponsorship where applicable
  • Hybrid working, core hours, and the chance to work hands-on in vehicle workshops and labs
