Staff Validation Systems Engineer

Wayve London, United KingdomHybridFull Time

Key Notes

ADAS validation spans simulation and physical testing of the Wayve AI Driver, with acceptance criteria agreed across Product, Safety and AV Engineering. The London full-time role combines Python-based evaluation with automotive or autonomous-vehicle experience. A relevant degree appears in the essential criteria, while SOTIF and safety-related validation experience are desirable. The post follows Wayve’s hybrid policy.

What You'll Work On

  • Develop validation strategy across simulation and real-world test modalities for ADAS functions.
  • Define driving-behaviour metrics, test-coverage requirements and comprehensive validation suites.
  • Develop acceptance criteria with Product, Safety and AV Engineering teams.
  • Analyse results and report findings to Release and Autonomy Engineering stakeholders.

Why This Role Matters

  • ADAS validation combines simulation and physical testing; agreed acceptance criteria and coverage requirements give Release and Autonomy Engineering stakeholders a defined basis for interpreting the results.
  • Driving-behaviour metrics turn on-road and simulated test outputs into comparable evidence, supporting assessments of the Wayve AI Driver across the validation programme.

What They Are Looking For

  • Experience: Hands-on validation of complex engineered systems, analysing and reporting results, and taking validation concepts through implementation are essential.
  • Domain: Automotive or autonomous-vehicle experience appears under essential criteria, although it is repeated under desirable criteria.
  • Technical: Python proficiency for metrics and evaluation code is essential.
  • Experience: Simulated and physical testing of autonomous systems is essential.
  • Qualification: A degree in Computer Science, Robotics, Aerospace or a related field is essential.
  • Preferred: ML, computer vision, motion planning, data science, SOTIF/safety validation, learned-behaviour evaluation, AI/agentic tools, SQL or driving-performance measurement experience is desirable.
