## About the role

Wayve is seeking a Robotics Software Engineer for our Online Calibration team to support scaling across our autonomous vehicle fleet. You will turn calibration and estimation methods into reliable, observable and resource-efficient components of the on-vehicle runtime, operating continuously on constrained, hardware-accelerated platforms.

## What they're looking for

- Strong practical expertise in sensor calibration, state estimation or a closely related robotics domain, including calibration of cameras, LiDAR, IMUs, vehicle parameters or multi-sensor systems
- Strong understanding of filtering and estimation methods, such as Kalman-family filters, Bayesian estimation, smoothing, robust estimation or factor-graph optimisation
- Strong modern C++ software-engineering skills and proficiency in Python for prototyping, analysis and test tooling
- Experience productionising algorithm-heavy robotics software for vehicles, robots, drones, aerospace systems or comparable edge platforms, including clear lifecycle, failure-handling and recovery behaviour
- Experience with asynchronous, high-throughput sensor data and hardware-accelerated pipelines, with the ability to optimise constrained compute and memory systems without losing correctness or debuggability
- Strong software architecture, API design, testing, debugging and performance-profiling skills, with evidence of end-to-end ownership and effective cross-functional collaboration
