Engineering Manager, App SW - Embedded

Required

• You’ve demonstrated the ability to lead and grow high-performing engineering teams, ideally in geographically distributed or independent settings.
• You’ve integrated embedded platforms into CI/CD pipelines and test automation frameworks, connecting hands-on development with repeatable validation.
• It would also be great if you bring:
• Exposure to automotive verification environments, including HIL systems, Vector toolchains or custom CI rigs, and tools such as Docker, Jenkins, Git and JFrog Artifactory.
• Experience in safety-critical development, including ISO 26262, boot-time determinism and watchdogs, alongside knowledge of secure boot, over-the-air updates and system-level cybersecurity.
• 🌱 Not ticking every box? That’s totally okay! If you’re passionate about autonomy and keen to learn, we encourage you to apply even if you don’t meet every requirement.
• More about Wayve:
• 🚀 Wayve is building the leading AI platform for autonomous driving. We are pioneering an end to end AI approach that enables vehicles to learn directly from real world experience, developing the ability to adapt, generalise and improve at scale. Instead of relying on hand coded rules or pre mapped environments, our AI Driver learns to drive by understanding the world around it. The result is technology that navigates complex urban environments with intelligence, precision and natural flow, unlocking meaningful advances in both safety and efficiency. We believe autonomy represents a once in a generation transformation in how people and goods move, comparable to the shift from horses to cars, and from human driven vehicles to intelligent machines.
• Our ambition is to make autonomy universal. Wayve’s mapless and hardware agnostic AI platform integrates with global OEM partners, enabling continuous software evolution and unlocking advanced levels of automation from L2 plus through to L4 as our core AI model scales. In a race increasingly defined by intelligence and real world learning, Wayve is taking a distinct approach, building a generalisable driving intelligence that can power any vehicle, anywhere. By combining embodied AI with scalable deployment, we are creating technology that can be shaped to each OEM brand and driver experience, accelerating the transition to a safer, more intelligent future of mobility.
• How we work 💻- Locations & Flexible Working:
• This is a full-time role based in Detroit, MI, or Sunnyvale, CA, with a hybrid working model.
• Our main hubs are in London, Sunnyvale, Yokohama, Herzliya, Vancouver and Leonberg. We operate a hybrid working model that combines in-person collaboration in our dedicated office spaces with focused time working remotely. This gives our teams the connection and energy of working together, alongside the flexibility to do their best work in a way that fits their lives.
