Technical Program Manager, Evaluation & Validation
The role
As a Technical Program Manager in Simulation, Evaluation & Validation at Wayve, you'll drive delivery across the platforms and processes that prove the AI Driver is ready for the road - open and closed-loop simulation, the evaluation platform, synthetic data, critical-event pipelines, and behaviour validation. Your programs gate real on-road releases, so your impact is measured in release confidence, signal quality, and developer velocity.
Working with engineers and scientists across Autonomy, Science, Release, Product, and Safety, you'll bring structure to a complex, cross-cutting, safety-critical space in a fast-moving environment. A successful TPM is a force multiplier - helping teams move faster, more effectively, and with purpose.
Key Responsibilities
Drive program delivery: Own end-to-end delivery of cross-team programs spanning simulation, evaluation, and validation.
Sequence cross-cutting initiatives: Compose roadmaps across simulators, datasets, evaluation, and triage; manage dependencies, risks, and trade-offs, and escalate early with clear options.
Tie work to outcomes: Connect platform delivery to measurable outcomes - developer velocity, signal quality, cost per evaluation, time-to-ins
