Applied Scientist / Machine Learning Engineer

Wayve is building embodied AI for the physical world, starting with autonomous driving. Instead of the hand-engineered, modular stacks that defined the first era of self-driving, we pioneered AV2.0: a single, end-to-end neural network that learns to drive from raw sensor data and generalises to new cities, vehicles, and conditions. Our foundation models, the GAIA family of generative world models and the LINGO family of vision-language-action models, let vehicles perceive, reason, and act in the open world. We have driven zero-shot across hundreds of cities on three continents, and we are now scaling from proving the science to deploying it with leading automakers and mobility partners, including Nissan, Stellantis, and Uber.

The role

This role sits in the AI Platform organisation, on the data flywheel that powers every model we ship. The thesis is simple and compounding: the more intelligently we curate, enrich, and evaluate the real-world driving experience our fleet generates, the faster our foundation models improve, and the further they generalise across geographies, embodiments, and OEM platforms. As deployment scales, the bottleneck is shifting from raw model capacity to the quality and intelligence of the data engine and the rigour of how we measure progress. That is the problem you will own.
