Key Notes
ADAS and L2 validation are the work of this Wayve staff engineer, available as a senior individual contributor or manager. You’ll turn OEM, safety and product requirements into scenarios, metrics and release evidence across simulation and physical tests. Automotive validation knowledge, professional Python and SQL or equivalent analysis are required. The full-time London vacancy needs hands-on evaluation experience; people leadership applies to the management route, while SOTIF, ML and motion-planning experience are advantageous.
What You'll Work On
- Translate ADAS and L2 product, safety and OEM expectations into validation strategies, scenarios, coverage and measurable acceptance criteria for release decisions.
- Build Python evaluation pipelines and test suites across simulation and physical environments, analysing behavioural metrics and validating complex assisted-driving functions.
- Coordinate data, simulation and evaluation dependencies, ensuring validation can run reliably and at scale across automotive product programmes.
- Communicate validation evidence and risks to Product, Safety, Release and Autonomy Engineering, providing senior technical ownership or team leadership according to the selected scope.
What They Are Looking For
- Domain: Knowledge of automotive or OEM development and validation of ADAS or L2 autonomy products.
- Technical: Structured validation strategies and hands-on scenarios, metrics, test suites, evaluation pipelines or analysis workflows.
- Technical: Professional Python and SQL or similar large-scale analysis tools, with simulation or real-world complex-system validation.
- Stakeholder: Clear communication, documented decisions and ownership of ambiguous validation questions.
- Experience: The M4 route requires people or validation-function leadership; TC4 requires strong senior individual-contributor ownership.
- Preferred: ML, vision, motion planning, SOTIF, safety validation or modern AI tools are advantageous.
