Staff Robotics Engineer, AV Core
As a Staff Robotics Engineer in Wayve's AV Core organisation, you will lead the technical direction and delivery of fault detection and fallback systems for driverless operation. You will work alongside machine learning experts to build robust systems, and do some ML yourself. Physical AI is not just a learning problem; deployment in the real-world requires deep systems understanding of robotics.
The Core Model Safety team builds foundational capabilities for assisted and automated driving - collision avoidance, model understanding, and robustness under failure. You will work in a focused, high-impact senior team with strong ownership, access to large-scale training and fleet data, and close partners in research, simulation, evaluation, and applied engineering.
Key responsibilities
Set the technical strategy and roadmap for fault detection and fallback, from a robotics systems perspective, including its behavioral scope, operating envelope, system interfaces, and measurable acceptance criteria.
Design and train fault detection mechanisms using the methods best supported by evidence to enable robust driverless operation.
Collaborate across functions and expertise areas with machine learning, inference optimisation, software engi
