Wayve seeks a principal engineer to lead the architecture of its vehicle software platform, the embedded stack that runs its autonomous driving AI. The job is hands-on: designing architecture, prototyping reference implementations, reviewing C++ code, tuning performance and reliability, and setting standards for high-assurance embedded software. It asks for 15+ years in embedded systems, C/C++ with Python or Rust, and experience influencing large engineering organisations. The role also speaks for Wayve with OEMs and silicon partners such as NVIDIA and Qualcomm.
