Technology Lead / Manager, Wayve

• Experience managing or leading engineers including setting priorities, driving execution, and supporting their growth and performance
• Experience leading technical direction for complex autonomy, robotics, or other physical AI systems, ideally in autonomous vehicles or a closely related domain
• Experience building, shipping, and maintaining production systems, including translating product and system requirements into technical plans and execution
• Expertise in controls, trajectory generation, motion planning, or closely related autonomy problems, including strong understanding of physical system dynamics, closed-loop behavior, and controller design tradeoffs
• Experience working on production systems that incorporate machine learning models, ideally in domains such as prediction, trajectory generation, planning, or control
• Experience working across system boundaries, with the ability to consider factors across software, platform, and physical boundaries
• Strong software engineering fundamentals, with experience delivering high-quality production code and setting a high technical bar for others
• If you’re passionate about self-driving cars and think you have what it takes to make a positive impact on the world, we encourage you to apply

Desirable

• In this role, you will lead Wayve’s Controls team, an experienced and growing group responsible for delivering robust real-world vehicle motion across our product platforms
• You will guide a team working across controls, trajectory generation, and the interface with the Wayve AI Driver
• The role combines technical leadership, team development, and delivery ownership, with the opportunity to shape both near-term product impact and the longer-term evolution of our technology
• This is a high-impact opportunity to lead a critical team at the intersection of control, AI, and real-world vehicle behavior
• Lead and develop the Motion Controls team, providing strong people leadership, technical direction, and clear priorities for an experienced and growing group of engineers
• Own the team’s technical roadmap and delivery across short and long term horizons, translating product and system needs into clear priorities, technical plans, and timely execution
• Own the interface between the Wayve AI Driver, trajectory generation, and control in a deployed autonomy system
• Provide strong technical judgment across control, trajectory generation, and adjacent ML-informed system design, holding a high bar for engineering quality, technical rigor, deployed system performance, and motion quality
• Work with key partners to align technical plans, product needs, and integration constraints in the delivery of robust deployed motion behavior
• Shape the future direction and growth of the team to address emerging challenges at the intersection of control, AI, and real-world vehicle behavior
