Software Engineer Technical Lead - Simulation Technology

Wayve, founded in 2017, is at the forefront of Embodied AI technology for autonomous driving. Our advanced AI software and foundation models enable vehicles to perceive, understand, and navigate complex environments, enhancing automated driving systems' usability and safety. As a Software Engineer Technical Lead for the Simulation Technology team, you'll be responsible for evolving a core component of Wayve's simulation platform. This platform is crucial for developing and evaluating Wayve's driving intelligence, requiring both high realism and descriptiveness. You'll shape and implement the technical roadmap in one of three key areas: robot emulator fidelity, visual fidelity, or efficient scaling. Working closely with robotics, research, platform, and data teams, you'll ensure the simulation platform provides accurate, scalable, and high-signal simulations. Key responsibilities include owning KPIs for simulator realism, reproducibility, and cost, leading technical discussions, integrating simulated robot components and machine-learned graphics subsystems, and implementing production-quality software in C++ and Python. The ideal candidate has domain experience in simulation, robotics, or modern machine learned graphics techniques, strong development skills in Python and C++, and a good understanding of systems and data-oriented software engineering design. This full-time role, based in Sunnyvale, offers a hybrid working policy, combining office time for innovation and culture with the flexibility of working from home.
