Principal Engineer, 3D Reconstruction

The Role

Wayve is looking for a Principal Engineer, 3D Reconstruction to lead the development of an offline 3D reconstruction capability that builds high-quality 3D world geometry from vehicle sensor data in dynamic scenes. The system will draw on localization and mapping, state estimation, and sensor fusion to produce offline 3D geometric reconstructions and best-estimate ego motion from heterogeneous vehicle platforms and sensor suites. The work will support internal validation, data enrichment, and model development by turning raw sensor data into reliable, quality-assessed 3D ground-truth outputs. This is a principal-level technical leadership role for someone who can set the technical direction, build early prototypes, and align cross-functional teams around a shared reconstruction capability.

Key Responsibilities

• Define the technical architecture and roadmap for Wayve’s offline 3D reconstruction system.

• Lead the development of MVPs that unblock high-priority internal use cases, while guiding the transition to a robust internal platform.

• Establish the core technical interfaces, output representations, and tools needed to suppo
