You should apply if

• You understand how automotive companies and OEMs develop and validate ADAS or L2 autonomy products.
• You can translate customer, safety, regulatory, and product expectations into structured validation strategies.
• You have hands-on experience building scenarios, metrics, test suites, evaluation pipelines, or data-analysis workflows.
• You can use Python professionally and are comfortable with SQL or similar large-scale analysis tools.
• You have validated complex systems in simulation, the real world, or both.
• You communicate clearly, document decisions well, and can own ambiguous problems from concept through evidence and recommendation.
• ML, computer vision, motion planning, SOTIF, safety validation, or modern AI-tooling experience is advantageous.
• For the M4 scope, you have experience leading people or coordinating a validation function; for TC4, you bring strong senior individual-contributor ownership.

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.

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.

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.

However, we do look to capture information about care responsibilities, and disabilities among other diversity information as part of an optional DEI Monitoring form to help us identify areas of improvement in our hiring process and ensure that the process is inclusive and non-discriminatory.
