Product Designer, Onboard Experience Team
We build the embodied intelligence that moves real vehicles safely, and the ecosystem a billion machines will run on in the future. Very few people in AI can say this. Every role here, whatever the team, plugs into that.
Here’s what this particular role covers.
🛠️ About our Onboard Experience Team
We’re looking for a Product Designer to shape digital in-vehicle experiences for Wayve’s development and demonstration fleet.
Your work will span tools used by trained vehicle operators during testing and validation, as well as guest-facing interfaces that help people understand and experience Wayve’s enriched ADAS and automated-driving technology.
You’ll join a supportive, experienced design environment and partner closely with Product, Engineering and Operations. Together, you’ll explore new ways for people to understand and interact with autonomous-driving technology.
🧠 Your day-to-day
You’ll own defined product features from discovery through delivery, combining user insight, interaction design and strong visual craft.
You’ll conduct research and usability testing, translate complex technical and operational requirements into intuitive experiences, and create detailed designs ready for implementation. You’ll also think beyond the screen, considering how visual interfaces, sound, haptics and lighting can work together to make complex technology clear, accessible and easy to use.
🧩 What you’ll be working on
- Conducting research, observation and usability testing with operators, guests and customers
- Translating user needs, complex technology and operational requirements into clear journeys, workflows and interactions
- Applying inclusive and accessible design principles across a broad range of needs, abilities and contexts
- Designing cohesive experiences across visual interfaces, sound, haptics and lighting
- Creating user flows, wireframes, prototypes and polished, production-ready designs
- Defining interaction states, edge cases and feedback in sufficient detail for implementation
- Collaborating with stakeholders to balance user needs, product goals and technical constraints
- Reviewing implementation, resolving design issues and maintaining a high-quality bar for the finished experience
- Contributing reusable interaction and visual patterns across Wayve’s vehicle-related products
🙌 You should apply if
- Your portfolio demonstrates strong interaction and visual/UI craft, including the ability to make complex information and interactions clear without losing important detail
- You understand inclusive and accessible design and how different needs and contexts can shape an experience
- You have strong wireframing and prototyping skills and can choose the appropriate level of fidelity for the problem
- You bring curiosity and sound judgement, and you’re comfortable questioning assumptions, exploring different approaches and working through ambiguity and constraints
- You communicate clearly and can explain the reasoning behind your design decisions
- You have experience owning product problems through discovery, design, validation and delivery
- You have planned and conducted user research or usability testing and applied what you learned
- You have collaborated closely with product managers and engineers throughout the product-development process
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.

Experience fit
Your summer at the bank plus your econometrics coursework map directly to the day-one responsibilities on this scheme — client modelling, market briefings, and deal support.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Experience in the following areas would be useful but is not required:
- Designing interfaces that connect people with complex, real-time or physical systems, including automotive, mobility, gaming, robotics, industrial products, kiosks or other interactive machines
- Working in constrained environments where hardware, safety, attention or context place limits on interaction design
- Designing operational tools, real-time interfaces or products used by people with widely differing levels of technical knowledge
- Using generative AI and coding tools to explore ideas, build prototypes or contribute directly to implementation
- Designing in-vehicle interfaces, working with Android Auto or applying market-specific guidance such as JAMA
As part of the interview process, we’ll ask you to share examples of work that demonstrate strong interaction and visual design across digital products or interactive experiences.
🌱 Not ticking every box? That’s totally okay. If you’re passionate about autonomy and keen to learn, we encourage you to apply even if you don’t meet every requirement.
More about Wayve
🚀 Wayve is building the leading AI platform for autonomous driving. We are pioneering an end-to-end AI approach that enables vehicles to learn directly from real-world experience, developing the ability to adapt, generalise and improve at scale.
Instead of relying on hand-coded rules or pre-mapped environments, our AI Driver learns to drive by understanding the world around it. The result is technology that navigates complex urban environments with intelligence, precision and natural flow, unlocking meaningful advances in both safety and efficiency.
We believe autonomy represents a once-in-a-generation transformation in how people and goods move, comparable to the shift from horses to cars and from human-driven vehicles to intelligent machines.
Our ambition is to make autonomy universal. Wayve’s mapless and hardware-agnostic AI platform integrates with global OEM partners, enabling continuous software evolution and unlocking advanced levels of automation from L2+ through to L4 as our core AI model scales.
In a race increasingly defined by intelligence and real-world learning, Wayve is taking a distinct approach: building generalisable driving intelligence that can power any vehicle, anywhere. By combining embodied AI with scalable deployment, we are creating technology that can be shaped to each OEM brand and driver experience, accelerating the transition to a safer and more intelligent future of mobility.

A quick, honest note before you apply.
Wayve is not a mature, fully-structured place with the playbook already written. Much of how we work is still being written, and if you join, you’ll help write it. That suits people who want real ownership more than people who need a settled structure from day one.
If that sounds like the kind of problem you want to spend your time on, we’d really like to hear from you.
