The Vehicle Generalization team enables efficient, scaleable, and predictable deployment of the Wayve autonomous driving stack across a wide range of vehicle platforms by maximizing the generalizability of our core autonomy where possible. The ideal candidate will be a generalist capable of quickly tackling complex, cross-functional challenges on-site at our Sunnyvale location, working closely with Measurement and Application Engineering teams. ### Key Responsibilities * Lead vehicle generalization benchmark evaluation and metrics tooling. Creation, curation, and dedicated focus on cross-platform and vehicle-to-vehicle variability. * Able to dive deep into pragmatic variabilities with different platforms and get hands-on, and zoom out to paint a bigger picture for driving the larger generalization metrics story. * Cross-functional Collaboration: Work closely with a broad range of teams from OEM support engineering, to measurement, and controls. * Customer Program Support: Provide on-the-ground technical support enabling the autonomy stack for key customer programs (e.g., Nissan, Stellantis), which may require domestic and international travel. # About You ### Essential * Experience with data-driven development, including defining metrics, building tooling, and performing data analysis. * Core Robotics Expertise: Strong background and practical experience with control system design, state estimation (including odometry and localization), and sensor fusion. * Programming: Proficiency in C++ and Python. * System Thinking: Demonstrated strong robotics system thinking, enabling quick diagnosis and resolution of complex integration issues in dynamic environments. * Location/Travel: Willingness and ability to travel (domestic and international) for on-the-ground customer and vehicle support. Must be based in Sunnyvale, CA. * Excellent cross-functional communication and teamwork skills. ### Desirable * Familiarity with mapping/navigation data and advanced odometry techniques. * Experience with advanced control techniques, particularly where motion planning/control is influenced by or performed by a neural network This role is a full-time role based in Sunnyvale, CA (hybrid) and the reasonably estimated salary for this role ranges from $209,700 to $253,000, plus a competitive equity package. Actual compensation is based on the candidate's skills, qualifications, and experience. ## Apply [Apply on Wayve]() Canonical job page:
