## About the role

Wayve is developing driver-out Robotaxi systems that bring together the AI Driver, vehicle platform, sensors and compute, safety mechanisms, Remote Assistance, fleet services, and cloud operations.

## What they're looking for

- Own the systems engineering for defined parts of the Robotaxi architecture — for example vehicle/ADS interfaces, Remote Assistance/offboard boundaries, or fleet/cloud integration
- Translate use cases, operational concepts, and constraints into system requirements, interfaces, assumptions, and verification-ready specifications for the areas you own
- Work directly with OEM, Tier1, and Robotaxi operator partners to define system and product boundaries together, including leading technical working sessions and design discussions with them
- Apply the Robotaxi reference architecture to real vehicle programs across sensors, compute, ECU topology, vehicle interfaces, and degraded-operation behavior
- Support implementation through technical reviews, bring-up planning, issue triage, and design-change impact analysis
- Escalate cross-domain or cross-program trade-offs that go beyond your defined scope to the lead Robotaxi System Architect and relevant domain owners
