Key Notes
AI Driver work-package ownership spans engineering, AI research and programme management, with responsibility from problem definition through delivery. The full-time advert names Leonberg as its office base and explicitly considers London, alongside a hybrid policy. Strong technical depth and complex-product delivery experience are essential; AI/ML, autonomy, robotics or another deep-tech background is described as ideal.
What You'll Work On
- Own a substantial AI Driver work package from problem definition and strategy through sequencing and shipped outcomes.
- Lead engineers, researchers and programme managers through ambiguous delivery issues without formal authority.
- Assess technical trade-offs with senior specialists in AI, machine learning, autonomy and embodied AI.
- Translate research progress and customer needs into a sequenced product roadmap.
- Track KPIs and milestones and communicate progress to technical teams, executives and customers.
Why This Role Matters
- Wayve's AI Driver roadmap converts research progress and customer needs into sequenced capabilities, determining which technical outcomes reach the product next.
- A shared AI Driver roadmap, milestones and technical trade-offs give engineers, researchers and programme managers a common basis for sequencing delivery across the work package.
What They Are Looking For
- Experience: Independent ownership of a substantial work package and cross-functional delivery is essential.
- Technical: Strong technical depth and the ability to engage senior researchers and engineers are essential.
- Stakeholder: Listening, writing and communication that align teams through ambiguity are essential.
- Experience: Product management, technical programme management or similar work on complex technical products is essential.
- Preferred: AI/ML, autonomy, robotics or another deep-tech domain is described as ideal; autonomous-driving, ADAS, safety-critical product, hands-on AI/ML and global scale-up experience is desirable.
