Mechanical Design Engineer

The role

As a Mechanical Engineer at Wayve, you’ll design and deliver robust integration solutions for compute and sensors on real-world vehicles—working on programs with some of the world’s leading automotive partners. You’ll take ideas from concept through prototype and into manufacture, owning quality and trade‑offs along the way. This is a hands-on role with clear impact on how our systems are built, tested, installed, and scaled.

Key responsibilities

• Design and integrate mechanical solutions for sensors and compute across a range of vehicle platforms.

• Own mechanical design trade‑offs (performance, cost, manufacturability, serviceability) while maintaining a high quality bar.

• Develop and build HiLs, test rigs, jigs, and fixtures to support validation and integration.

• Produce clear 2D drawings, assemblies, and BOMs; apply GD&T to ensure repeatable builds.

• Partner with supply chain and external suppliers to source and manufacture parts (sheet metal, machining, vacuum casting, 3D printing, etc.).

• Collaborate cross‑functionally with electronics and other engineering teams to integrate comput
