Responsibilities

  • Own model releases from initial requirements through training, evaluation, iteration, and deployment readiness.
  • Train and iterate on PyTorch models using experiments, ablations, and defined evaluation criteria.
  • Debug regressions, identify root causes, and improve model performance.
  • Apply model optimization techniques such as quantization and distillation.
  • Collaborate with ML and performance engineering teams on handoffs, bottlenecks, and optimization priorities.
  • Communicate delivery timelines, trade-offs, and readiness criteria with stakeholders.

Requirements

  • Proven experience improving production-system performance under constraints such as latency, memory, bandwidth, power, thermal limits, or cost.
  • Strong hands-on experience training and iterating on deep learning models in PyTorch.
  • Strong proficiency with at least one relevant toolchain, such as TensorRT, CUDA, Qualcomm QNN, Triton, or OpenCL.
  • Ability to reason from high-level model behavior through low-level kernel and runtime execution.
  • Familiarity with model optimization concepts including quantization and distillation.
  • Strong engineering fundamentals and collaboration skills.
  • Experience with edge, embedded, real-time, or similarly constrained ML production systems is desirable.
  • Exposure to ML workflows spanning training, evaluation, and deployment handoff is desirable.
  • Exposure to benchmarking ML models on real devices and managing system-level constraints is desirable.

About Wayve

501-1,000 employees

Wayve builds end-to-end autonomous driving software—the vehicle-agnostic Wayve AI Driver—that runs on onboard compute and native sensors, licensed to automakers and fleet operators. Its platform spans ADAS and higher autonomy (L2+/L3 to robotaxi) and is designed to generalize across vehicle types and geographies. Founded in 2017 and headquartered in London, it tests its models across Europe, North America, and Japan, with a U.S. base in Sunnyvale, CA.
