Responsibilities
- Own and evolve the Robotaxi autonomy performance measurement framework for driving and pick-up/drop-off scenarios.
- Build and run the end-to-end performance improvement loop, including issue detection, triage, prioritization, root-cause investigation, and fix follow-through.
- Lead cross-functional execution across AV core, evaluation and validation, robotics, robot software, triage and systems, and SRE.
- Define performance release gates and regression detection for production deployments, and own readiness calls, post-release monitoring, and incident follow-through.
- Use Python, C++, and SQL to accelerate debugging, validate hypotheses, and unblock delivery.
Requirements
- Demonstrated cross-functional engineering leadership delivering complex production outcomes across multiple teams without direct line management.
- Strong product and customer orientation, connecting technical performance metrics to rider experience, operational outcomes, and launch readiness.
- Strong autonomy or robotics performance debugging experience with real-world issues and time-series or real-time signals.
- Strong foundations in learned systems and ML-driven robotics, including model behavior, failure modes, and measurement pitfalls.
- Production fluency in Python, C++, and SQL, with the ability to work directly in code and analytics pipelines.
- Experience owning or co-owning production releases to a fleet of robots or vehicles, including release processes, gates, rollback plans, and regression handling, is desirable.
- Familiarity with autonomy data and observability stacks such as Databricks, SQL, Grafana, internal evaluation or simulation tooling, and dashboarding or reporting is desirable.
- Experience building scalable triage systems and performance programs in safety-critical or mission-critical environments is desirable.
Benefits
- Full-time role based in Wayve’s London office.
- Hybrid working policy combining time in offices and workshops with working from home.
- Inclusive interview accommodations and adjustments are available upon request.
