Engineering Manager, Experiment Platform, Robot Software

Before the detail, here's the challenge you'd help us solve.We build the embodied intelligence that moves real vehicles safely, and the ecosystem a billion machines will run on in the future. Very few people in AI can say this. Every role here, whatever the team, plugs into that.Here’s what this particular role covers.🛠️ About our Engineering TeamsRobot Software builds the on-vehicle software platform that Wayve’s AI Driver runs on. Within it, the Experiment Platform team owns the systems that let our researchers develop driving models on the road: deploying models to vehicles, running experiments, and collecting the data that trains the next model.The team builds a portable development platform that connects to partner vehicles and brings Wayve’s model development capabilities to them, including data collection, experiment control, telemetry and over-the-air updates. It is used across our own fleet and on pre-production vehicles with OEM partners in Europe and Japan, and is central to how Wayve adapts its AI Driver to new vehicles.
