Responsibilities

  • Own the architecture and technical roadmap for Remote Assistance across onboard integration, offboard services, and operator tooling/HMI.
  • Define the vehicle-to-operator contract, including data, authority bounds, fallback/MRM behavior, and failure handling.
  • Lead cross-team execution across autonomy, safety, platform/infrastructure, and product partners.
  • Establish latency budgets, reliability targets, monitoring, replay/evidence, and incident-learning quality standards for safety-critical Remote Assistance operations.
  • Act as the technical interface to engineering leadership and safety stakeholders and shape the Remote Assistance contribution to the L4 safety case.

Requirements

  • Staff-level experience building and owning real-time, safety-critical systems in areas such as autonomous vehicles, robotics, teleoperation, aerospace/avionics, industrial control, or medical devices.
  • Strong product and customer orientation, with the ability to connect technical metrics to rider experience, operational outcomes, and launch readiness.
  • Proven ability to lead cross-organizational technical roadmaps and deliver work across teams without direct management authority.
  • Deep hands-on expertise in low-latency video or telemetry streaming, robotics or autonomous-vehicle system integration, control systems, or human-in-the-loop system design.
  • Strong safety-first engineering approach, including failure-mode analysis, fallback/MRM design, operational constraints, ODD enforcement, and evidence-driven decisions.
  • Experience with teleoperation, remote driving, or remote assistance systems, including operator user experience and authority boundaries, is desirable.
  • Familiarity with autonomy safety frameworks and processes such as functional safety concepts, safety cases, and hazard analysis is desirable.
  • Experience scaling production systems from prototype to operational reliability in ambiguous, fast-moving environments is desirable.

Benefits

  • Full-time role based in London.
  • Hybrid working policy combining time in the office and workshops with time working from home.
  • Inclusive interview accommodations are available upon request.
