# Tech Lead, Remote Assist - Robotaxi - Company: [Wayve]() - Location: London, United Kingdom - Team: Vehicle SW Engineering - Employment type: Full Time - Posted: June 2, 2026 ## Job description **The role** This is a high-impact technical leadership role at the centre of Wayve’s Robotaxi launch. You’ll define the end-to-end architecture that connects vehicle telemetry and intent with real-time human operator support, balancing latency, reliability, and safety constraints. As a foundational team member in this domain, you will have a unique opportunity to set technical direction. We are specifically looking for product-oriented engineers who are adept at converting deep technical decisions into impactful product features. This role offers a clear and attractive growth path from a hands-on IC to leading a small team as the program scales. **Key responsibilities:** * Own the architecture and technical roadmap for Remote Assistance across onboard integration, offboard services, and operator tooling/HMI * Define and drive the vehicle ↔ operator “contract” (data, authority bounds, fallback/MRM behaviour, and failure handling) * Lead cross-team execution across autonomy, safety, platform/infra, and product partners, turning architecture into deliverable workstreams * Establish system-level quality bars (latency budgets, reliability targets, monitoring, replay/evidence, incident learning loops) for safety-critical RA operation * Act as the technical interface to engineering leadership and safety stakeholders, shaping how RA feeds into the evolving L4 safety case **About you** In order to set you up for success as a Tech Lead, within the robotaxi team here at Wayve, we’re looking for the following skills and experience. **Essential** * Staff-level experience building and owning real-time, safety-critical systems (e.g., AV/robotics, teleoperation, aerospace/avionics, industrial control, medical devices) * Strong product and customer orientation; able to connect technical performance metrics to rider experience, operational outcomes, and launch readiness * Proven ability to lead cross-org technical roadmaps and land work across multiple teams you don’t directly manage (architecture, alignment, execution) * Deep hands-on expertise in at least one of: low-latency video/telemetry streaming, robotics/AV system integration, control systems, or human-in-the-loop system design * Strong safety-first engineering instincts: failure-mode thinking, fallback/MRM design, operational constraints/ODD enforcement, and evidence-driven decision making **Desirable** * Direct experience with teleoperation / remote driving / remote assistance systems, including operator UX and authority boundaries * Familiarity with safety frameworks and processes relevant to autonomy (e.g., functional safety concepts, safety cases, hazard analysis) * Experience scaling production systems in ambiguous, fast-moving environments (from prototype to operational reliability) This is a full-time role based in our office in London.  At Wayve we want the best of all worlds so we operate a hybrid working policy that combines time together in our offices and workshops to fuel innovation, culture, relationships and learning, and time spent working from home. ## Apply [Apply on Wayve]() Canonical job page:
