About the role

Wayve is building autonomous driving technology that runs on real vehicles. Getting our models onto embedded hardware — correctly, quickly, and reproducibly — is one of the hardest problems between research and product.

What they're looking for

  • You have built or significantly extended ML compilation or graph-lowering pipelines
  • You understand multi-stage lowering (capture, decomposition, precision assignment, legalisation) and can debug what breaks at each stage
  • Strong proficiency with at least one relevant stack (e.g. MLIR, ONNX, TensorRT, Qualcomm QNN, PyTorch export/capture) and confidence learning adjacent frameworks quickly
  • Experience with quantisation in compilation — precision typing, PTQ integration, and tracking down accuracy loss from compiler transforms
  • Comfortable from high-level model graphs down to vendor backend constraints, strong Python, with C++ a plus
  • Clear communicator who can align cross-functional teams on compilation trade-offs
