Robotics Jobs in Woking

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.

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.

Humanoid · London

Senior systems engineering role focused on the software and autonomy stack of a humanoid robot platform, spanning perception, localisation, navigation, AI, motion planning, controls and ROS 2. Involves translating product needs into requirements, architectures and interfaces, coordinating integration across teams, and defining verification and validation strategies for autonomous behaviours.

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.

Wayve · London

Owns validation strategy for ADAS and L2 autonomy functions, translating product, safety and regulatory requirements into test scenarios, metrics, coverage and acceptance criteria. Works hands-on with Python evaluation pipelines, simulation and SQL data analysis, and can be hired as a senior individual contributor or as a manager leading validation delivery.

Wayve · London

Owns the technical architecture and roadmap for LiDAR and cross-sensor 3D sensing, leading development of target-based and targetless calibration, LiDAR-to-camera registration, temporal alignment and motion compensation using LiDAR odometry, nonlinear least-squares optimisation and factor graphs. A senior individual-contributor role combining algorithm development, evaluation methodology and productionisation, with technical leadership and mentorship across the 3D sensing stack.

Wayve · London

Lead functional safety activities for an end-to-end AI automated driving system, building Item Definitions, running HARA/FMEA/FTA analyses, and shaping safety concepts and architectures across vehicle platforms and third-party systems. Define verification and validation, including vehicle-level testing, and construct structured safety cases with claims, arguments and evidence for certification.
