About our Engineering Teams
Wayves ADAS engineering teams build the perception and intelligence that power driver assistance in real-world driving. We work end-to-end: from creating high-quality training data, to developing and evaluating CV/3D perception models, to iterating quickly based on performance gaps. The team mixes online (on-car, latency/compute constrained) and offline (heavier, large-scale data generation) work, with a strong focus on measurable impact and shipping.
Youll train, debug, and improve computer vision and 3D perception models, and iterate based on clear evaluation signals. Youll work across the full ML lifecycle (data training evaluation iteration), partnering with the team to decide what to tackle next based on where the system is underperforming. A meaningful portion of the role involves building scalable data pipelines (including auto-labelling / pseudo-labelling) to accelerate model development.
Youll help deliver core ADAS perception capabilities such as detection, classification, and instance segmentation, with domain focus across lanes, objects, traffic signs, and traffic lights. Youll contribute to offline pipelines like tracking + 3D reconstruction that let us back-propagate known good labels through time and generate large labelled datasets. Depending on your strengths, you may lean more into online models that must run fast in-car, or offline models that improve data quality and coverage at scale.
Youve built and shipped CV-focused deep learning systems and can demonstrate strong applied ML engineering (not research-only). You have experience with 3D perception concepts or pipelines (e.g., LiDAR, multi-view geometry, tracking, 3D reconstruction) and youre comfortable owning work end-to-end, including evaluation and dataset generation. You enjoy pragmatic problem-solving, working under real product constraints, and youre excited to improve real-world driving performance through better perception.
Not ticking every box? Thats totally okay! If youre passionate about autonomy and keen to learn, we encourage you to apply even if you dont meet every requirement.
Wayve is building the leading AI platform for autonomous driving. We are pioneering an end to end AI approach that enables vehicles to learn directly from real world experience, developing the ability to adapt, generalise and improve at scale. Instead of relying on hand coded rules or pre mapped environments, our AI Driver learns to drive by understanding the world around it. The result is technology that navigates complex urban environments with intelligence, precision and natural flow, unlocking meaningful advances in both safety and efficiency. We believe autonomy represents a once in a generation transformation in how people and goods move, comparable to the shift from horses to cars, and from human driven vehicles to intelligent machines.
Our ambition is to make autonomy universal. Wayves mapless and hardware agnostic AI platform integrates with global OEM partners, enabling continuous software evolution and unlocking advanced levels of automation from L2 plus through to L4 as our core AI model scales. In a race increasingly defined by intelligence and real world learning, Wayve is taking a distinct approach, building a generalisable driving intelligence that can power any vehicle, anywhere. By combining embodied AI with scalable deployment, we are creating technology that can be shaped to each OEM brand and driver experience, accelerating the transition to a safer, more intelligent future of mobility.
Our main hubs are in London, Sunnyvale, Yokohama, Herzliya, Vancouver and Leonberg. We operate a hybrid working model that combines in-person collaboration in our dedicated office spaces with focused time working remotely. This gives our teams the connection and energy of working together, alongside the flexibility to do their best work in a way that fits their lives.
