Full Job Description

About us Founded in 2017, Wayve is the leading developer of Embodied AI technology. Our advanced AI software and foundation models enable vehicles to perceive, understand, and navigate any complex environment, enhancing the usability and safety of automated driving systems. Our vision is to create autonomy that propels the world forward. Our intelligent, mapless, and hardware-agnostic AI products are designed for automakers, accelerating the transition from assisted to automated driving. In our fast-paced environment big problems ignite us—we embrace uncertainty, leaning into complex challenges to unlock groundbreaking solutions. We aim high and stay humble in our pursuit of excellence, constantly learning and evolving as we pave the way for a smarter, safer future. At Wayve, your contributions matter. We value diversity, embrace new perspectives, and foster an inclusive work environment; we back each other to deliver impact. Make Wayve the experience that defines your career! The Role We are looking for an ADAS Feature Engineer to help build the application-layer software that connects Wayve’s AI capabilities to real vehicle behaviour. This role sits at the intersection of AI, vehicle systems, active safety, and product delivery: you will develop C++ feature logic, validation tools, and system behaviours that allow AI-native driving technology to operate robustly in real-world vehicle environments. You will work closely with machine learning, product, vehicle integration, and systems teams to turn model outputs and vehicle data into reliable, testable, and customer-relevant ADAS features. Key Responsibilities: Design, implement, and maintain C++ application software for ADAS and active-safety-related vehicle features. Build feature-level logic on top of AI / ML outputs, including validation, feasibility checks, state machines, fallback behaviours, and safety-aware decision logic. Work with ML engineers to understand model outputs, limitations, failure modes, and ho
