Wayve
Systems Engineer, Robotaxi
About this role
Wayve seeks an experienced Systems Engineer to translate Robotaxi architecture into implementable specifications and requirements. You'll own defined technical scopes—such as vehicle/ADS interfaces or fleet integration—working closely with internal architects and external partners (OEMs, Tier1s, operators) to define system boundaries and drive technical design decisions.
What you'll do
- Own systems engineering for defined Robotaxi architecture areas (e.g., vehicle interfaces, Remote Assistance boundaries, fleet integration)
- Convert use cases and operational concepts into system requirements, interfaces, and verification-ready specifications
- Collaborate directly with OEM, Tier1, and operator partners to define system and product boundaries through technical discussions
- Apply reference architecture to real vehicle programs across sensors, compute, ECU topology, and degraded-operation behavior
- Support implementation via technical reviews, bring-up planning, issue triage, and design-change impact analysis
- Escalate cross-domain trade-offs to lead architect and relevant stakeholders
What they're looking for
- Robotaxi or L4 autonomous system design and integration
- Systems engineering across hardware, embedded software, autonomy, and safety
- Requirements engineering and functional decomposition
- Vehicle platform and robotic system integration
- Multi-stakeholder communication and technical partnership management
- Driver-out safety concepts (redundancy, degraded operation, functional safety, SOTIF)
- Automotive E/E architecture and protocols
- Technical documentation and architecture review facilitation
