## About the role

As an Autonomous Driving Forensics Engineer in our Detectives team, part of the Model Integration and Release group, you will investigate issues that arise across the full Wayve AV stack. Working closely with teams across the business, you will identify root causes efficiently, test solutions thoroughly, and provide actionable insight that improves overall AV performance.

- Data analysis & communication: Analyse data and communicate insights clearly, using dashboards and/or visualisations to make complex issues easy for others to understand and act on
- Process & automation: Develop automated workflows and investigation playbooks that improve turnaround time and enable faster testing cycles
- Simulation & testing: Leverage simulation and other offline tools to reproduce and debug issues, minimising the need for fleet resources
- Incident response: Investigate on-road incidents to establish what happened and why, feeding lessons back to the relevant teams and strengthening our wider safety culture
