Make Wayve the experience that defines your career

The role

As a member of the Embedded Automotive Platforms team, you will contribute towards the creation of a software platform that interfaces with the automobile's embedded hardware. This includes developing abstractions and APIs that enable Wayve's software and robotics teams to deploy AV software efficiently. Your role involves understanding the capabilities and nuances of various deployment platforms and creating abstractions that minimise the need for Onboard Applications to be customised for each target platform.You will play a crucial role in advancing Wayve's AV technology. Your contributions will drive the efficiency, maintainability, and scalability of the embedded systems that underpin our autonomous vehicles.

Key responsibilities:

  • Build software to enable full sensor integration and data capture at scale and quality necessary for a fully autonomous vehicle.
  • Deliver and maintain soft-real-time Linux-based applications to a fleet of embedded devices on automobiles. Including data collection and storage as well as machine learning inference on the edge.
  • Create robust, fault tolerant software solutions, with comprehensive system diagnostics so we can quickly and efficiently resolve any issues preventing our deployed fleet from operating at maximum capacity.
  • Design, implement, and use system monitoring tools to improve performance and resolve both ad-hoc and systemic issues.
Technologies the team is using: the onboard software is run on Nvidia Jetson devices; C++ and Rust being the main languages we use in the most of our codebase. We use many of the industry standard libraries that you'd expect i.e. ROS2 ecosystem.
