Robotics Jobs in Woking

Wayve · London

Lead a small team iterating on Wayve's end-to-end L2 driving model, balancing hands-on Python coding and experiments with directing priorities. You diagnose on-road issues, root-cause them, and drive fixes through data recipes, model architecture and evaluation, working across teams on model and vehicle interface problems.

Wayve · London

Lead the technical architecture and roadmap for onboard localisation, designing and productionising state-estimation systems that fuse GNSS, IMU and wheel odometry for accurate vehicle pose estimates. The role spans algorithm design, prototyping, validation and deployment on real-time vehicle platforms, with hands-on technical leadership and mentorship across robotics, calibration, controls and sensor teams.

Humanoid · London

Own the hardware test methodology for a humanoid robot platform, defining component, subsystem and whole-robot tests from bench actuators to full walking integration sequences. Hands-on role: bring up prototypes, root-cause failures, and specify fixtures, jigs and production test requirements with Manufacturing Engineering and Quality. Sets pass/fail criteria, tolerances and traceable test data as the programme moves from EVT to production.

Humanoid · London

Own the hardware test methodology for a humanoid robot platform, defining component, subsystem and whole-robot tests and running them hands-on on early prototypes. Partner with automation, manufacturing and quality teams to translate methods into production test rigs, in-process checks and traceable acceptance criteria from EVT toward production.

Wayve · London

Owns Wayve's end-to-end data strategy across the AI learning cycle, from foundation model training to production programmes, leading a multidisciplinary Data organisation. Focuses on building the data flywheel, discovering rare and safety-critical scenarios in huge datasets using embeddings, semantic search and model-driven selection, and connecting data investment to model performance.

Wayve · London

Hands-on role optimising inference for edge accelerators and GPUs so large transformer models run efficiently on low-cost, low-power in-vehicle compute. You'll profile model graphs, compilers, runtimes and kernels, implement optimisations like fusion, scheduling and custom kernels, and build benchmarking and regression tests across NVIDIA Orin/Thor and Qualcomm targets, working closely with model, platform and deployment teams.

Wayve · London

Builds and evolves the data pipeline and orchestration platform behind Wayve's autonomous driving data, revamping the existing Harness system and creating a new DAG-based workflow platform. Works on Kubernetes-deployed, distributed infrastructure handling hundreds of parallel pipeline steps, batch inference and evaluation workflows, closely with partner teams.

Wayve · London

Builds and ships computer vision and 3D perception models for driver assistance, working across the full ML lifecycle from data generation to training, evaluation and iteration. The role spans latency-constrained on-car perception and large-scale offline work using lidar, maps and extra compute to power an auto-labelling data flywheel.

Wayve · London

Bridges Wayve's core AI Driver architecture and OEM/Tier 1 vehicle platforms, defining software–vehicle interfaces across sensors, signals, middleware and ECUs. Owns interface contracts, ownership boundaries and validation-ready requirements, representing Wayve in partner technical discussions.

Wayve · London

Owns the autonomy performance measurement framework for a public-scale robotaxi deployment, defining metrics, dashboards and release gates for an end-to-end learned driving system with no existing playbook. Runs the performance improvement loop across model, robot software, backend and evaluation tooling, leading cross-functional execution without direct reporting authority while staying hands-on in Python, C++ and SQL.

Wayve · London

A cross-functional individual contributor role shaping software architecture across onboard software, AI, simulation, training, inference and Robotaxi systems. The architect defines boundaries, interfaces and abstractions spanning AI, compute and vehicle platforms, leading large multi-team architectural changes and acting as a technical decision-maker on safety-critical systems.

Wayve · London

Builds and maintains core C++/Python components that interface self-driving models with vehicle and embedded systems, plus infrastructure to run and test autonomy capabilities. Owns reliability and performance of Linux-based systems and specialises in one domain such as localisation/mapping, filtering/diagnostics or control/inference, in a team scaling to 5-6 engineers.

Wayve · London

Lead a distributed team of seven engineers owning network and site infrastructure across offices, garages, labs and test facilities in six countries. The role combines people leadership with roughly 20% hands-on work, driving a multi-year network replacement, site builds, automation and security controls, plus on-call and regular international travel.

Wayve · London

Lead the Applied Methods Data Science team, partnering with the Autonomy organisation to turn experimental and observational analysis of real and simulated driving into evaluations and insights. Set three-, six- and 12-month roadmaps, review technical proposals for statistical rigour, and grow the team through hiring, tooling and automation.

Wayve · London

Develops next-generation generative world models and planners such as GAIA, using diffusion, transformer and hybrid architectures to simulate complex driving environments for training, testing and deployment. The role spans ML research, multi-modal modelling and real-world deployment, with a focus on inference efficiency, closed-loop agent interaction and sim-to-real evaluation.
