Responsibilities

  • Own the ML compilation pipeline from model checkpoint to deployable bundle for NVIDIA TensorRT and Qualcomm QNN targets.
  • Design and implement compiler passes covering graph lowering, precision assignment, legalisation, partitioning, and related stages.
  • Build accuracy and latency gates, regression testing, and benchmarking to validate compiler changes across releases.
  • Develop scalable compilation infrastructure for multiple model architectures, platforms, and SoCs.
  • Partner with model and training teams on compilability and resolve compiler trade-offs affecting correctness and performance.
  • Set technical direction and mentor others on compiler design.

Requirements

  • Experience building or owning significant ML compilation or graph-lowering pipelines.
  • Deep experience with quantisation in compilation, including precision typing, post-training quantisation integration, and debugging accuracy loss from compiler transforms.
  • Strong Python proficiency and experience building and testing production compiler infrastructure.
  • Proficiency with at least one of MLIR, ONNX, NVIDIA TensorRT, Qualcomm QNN, or PyTorch graph capture/export.
  • Experience with multi-target compilation or graph partitioning across hardware backends.
  • Ability to reason about correctness, latency, accuracy, and vendor-backend constraints across compiler stages.
  • C++ experience is a plus, along with clear communication and cross-functional collaboration skills.

Benefits

  • Inclusive interview accommodations are available upon request.
  • The role contributes to autonomous driving products running on real vehicle hardware.
  • The posting describes a greenfield, high-leverage Staff-level opportunity with technical direction and mentoring scope.

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.
