Make Wayve the experience that defines your career!  

The role 

We’re seeking an exceptional Software Engineer, Robotics to join our Japan-based Application Software team, focused on localising and advancing Wayve’s autonomous driving technology for the Japanese market. You’ll play a pivotal role in integrating, validating, and optimising our MPC-based trajectory controller and AI software stack on new vehicle platforms ensuring safe, reliable, and high-performance driving in diverse real-world conditions.

This is a unique opportunity to work at the intersection of controls, systems integration, and applied machine learning, helping expand our AV capabilities across new operational domains while collaborating closely with robotics, ML, and vehicle engineering experts.

Key Responsibilities

  • Integrate and validate Wayve’s AI software stack and MPC-based trajectory controller on customer hardware and vehicle platforms.

  • Maintain and enhance the controller (coupled with ML-driven trajectory generation) to improve performance, stability, and reliability across different vehicles and environments.

  • Establish and advance control and integration methods for ML-coupled systems, ensuring robustness and scalability across operational domains.

  • Test and optimise system behaviour in challenging driving scenarios — from highways to urban settings and adverse weather conditions.

  • Develop and refine simulation and evaluation pipelines to guarantee real-world optimality and control quality.

  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams (Verification, Release, OEM partners) to diagnose and resolve integration and performance issues.

About you  

In order to set you up for success as a SWE Robotics at Wayve, we’re looking for the following skills and experience.  

Essential

  • Strong theoretical knowledge of control theory, optimisation, model-predictive control, state estimation and numerical methods.
  • Practical experience in developing and tuning control systems for physical systems, both in simulation and in the real world.
  • Experience productionising and scaling systems including real-time controllers and monitoring their performance at scale.
  • Strong C++ and Python.

Desirable

  • Experience with control, dynamics and modelling of road vehicles.

Wayve is committed to creating an inclusive interview experience. If you require any accommodations or adjustments to participate fully in our interview process, please let us know

We understand that everyone has a unique set of skills and experiences and that not everyone will meet all of the requirements listed above. 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.
