About the job

Own systems engineering for defined parts of Wayve’s driver-out Robotaxi architecture, turning operational concepts into implementable requirements, interfaces, and verification-ready specifications.

What you'll do

  • Define requirements, interfaces, assumptions, and verification-ready specifications for assigned Robotaxi system areas.
  • Lead technical discussions with OEMs, suppliers, and operators to establish system and product boundaries.
  • Support implementation through technical reviews, bring-up planning, issue triage, and design-change impact analysis.

What they ask for

  • Hands-on experience designing, integrating, or deploying a Robotaxi or production-intent L4 driver-out system.
  • Systems engineering experience spanning several domains across hardware, embedded software, autonomy, safety, offboard services, or operations.
  • Experience translating use cases into functional decomposition, requirements, interfaces, trade studies, and verification intent.
  • Vehicle or robotic-system integration experience and working knowledge of driver-out safety concepts, including redundancy, degraded operation, functional safety, and SOTIF.

Nice to have

  • Robotaxi launch readiness or operations experience, including fleet services, Remote Assistance, or teleoperation.
  • Automotive E/E architecture, middleware, sensor/compute integration, or requirements and architecture tools such as Jama or MBSE/SysML.
