Data Scientist, Robotaxi Performance & Capability

Required

• You’re hands-on with Python, SQL, statistical analysis and tools for exploring and visualising large datasets.
• You can turn an ambiguous real-world problem into measurable questions, useful KPIs and a practical analytical approach.
• You’ve analysed complex systems, uncovered performance limitations and translated your findings into product or engineering improvements.
• You understand statistical confidence, rare-event analysis, performance distributions and trends.
• You’re comfortable working independently with incomplete data, making reasonable assumptions and refining your approach as new evidence emerges.
• You communicate clearly with engineering, product and leadership stakeholders, explaining both your findings and their limitations.
• Experience in autonomous driving, ADAS, robotics, mobility services or another complex physical system would be valuable. Familiarity with vehicle dynamics, driving behaviour, safety-critical events or operational reliability would also help. A relevant master’s degree or PhD in Physics, Statistics or Mathematics, particularly focused on traffic systems, autonomous driving deployment or urban mobility, is a plus.
• 🌱 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.
