Own a substantial work package end-to-end, defining the problem, setting strategy and sequencing work to advance an end-to-end AI driving platform. Lead a cross-functional team of engineers, researchers and PMs without formal authority, translating R&D progress and customer needs into a clear product roadmap with tracked KPIs and milestones.

• London
• On-site
• Senior
• Permanent

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.

Jira · X-Ray · TestRail +7

• London
• On-site
• Senior
• Permanent

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.

ROS 2 · C++ · Python +7

• London
• On-site
• Mid-level
• Permanent

Leads end-to-end programme management for a bipedal humanoid robot fleet, from Alpha prototype through production, mass deployment and obsolescence. Acts as central coordination point across Product, Engineering, Operations, Manufacturing, Supply Chain, Marketing, Business Development and Finance, owning programme plans, risk registers, stage gates and budget planning, while partnering with Engineering TPMs on locomotion, control and sensor workstreams.

PMP · PRINCE2

• London
• On-site
• Mid-level
• Permanent

Develops and maintains embedded firmware for robot end effectors and human-worn operator devices, sitting at the hardware-software boundary. Involves bringing up new PCB revisions, writing sensor drivers, integrating compute platforms like ESP32 and NVIDIA Jetson, and building OTA pipelines in a fast-paced robotics environment.

ESP32 · STM32 · Raspberry Pi +7

• London
• Hybrid
• Lead
• Permanent

Lead an ambitious research agenda at the intersection of LLMs, VLMs, VLAs and embodied AI, exploring how world knowledge, memory and reasoning improve physical-world decision-making. Stay hands-on developing architectures, training and post-training large-scale models, while mentoring researchers and shaping technical direction across London and Sunnyvale.

PyTorch

• London
• Hybrid
• Senior
• Permanent

Owns the end-to-end release cycle for AI driving models, coordinating ML engineering, evaluation, data science, platform, testing and product teams. Defines release gates and promotion criteria from training through validation to fleet deployment, drives regression investigations and rollback decisions, and builds tooling and KPIs to remove bottlenecks in a non-deterministic ML environment.

GitHub · Buildkite · CLI

• London
• Hybrid
• Mid-level · manages people
• Permanent

Lead a London-based team building the on-vehicle experiment platform that lets researchers deploy driving models to vehicles, run experiments and collect training data. Own people, roadmap and OEM partnerships while staying hands-on with embedded Linux, C++/Python and over-the-air deployment across vehicle fleets.

ROS 2 · DDS · QNX +4

• London
• Hybrid
• Mid-level · manages people
• Permanent

Lead a newly dedicated Runtime Platform team building the application frameworks, middleware, IPC, performance and observability foundations that let Wayve's AI Driver run in real time onboard vehicles. The role is people-first, combining coaching, hiring and roadmap ownership with technical direction across latency, profiling, real-time scheduling and embedded Linux, partnering with vehicle software, hardware and OEM programme teams.
