About the Role

We are looking for an ADAS Feature Engineer to build application-layer software connecting Wayve’s AI capabilities to real vehicle behaviour. This role involves developing C++ feature logic, validation tools, and system behaviours for AI-native driving technology. You will collaborate with ML, product, vehicle integration, and systems teams to create reliable, testable, and customer-relevant ADAS features.

Responsibilities

Design, implement, and maintain C++ application software for ADAS and active-safety-related vehicle features.
Build feature-level logic on top of AI / ML outputs, including validation, feasibility checks, state machines, fallback behaviours, and safety-aware decision logic.
Work with ML engineers to understand model outputs, limitations, failure modes, and how these translate into vehicle behaviour.
Use logs, simulation, replay, and vehicle testing to debug, tune, and validate feature behaviour.
Define and improve metrics, test cases, and validation strategies for ADAS feature performance, robustness, and quality.
Collaborate with product, systems, vehicle integration, and OEM-facing teams to translate requirements and real-world constraints into engineering solutions.
Support field testing and iterative development, including investigation of vehicle issues, edge cases, and performance gaps.
Contribute to software architecture, code quality, tooling, and engineering practices for feature development.

Requirements

Strong C++ software engineering experience, ideally in production or safety-relevant systems.
Hands-on experience in ADAS, autonomous driving, robotics, vehicle software, active safety, or closely related domains.
Practical understanding of vehicle feature development, including real-world testing, simulation, replay, logs, or prototype vehicle debugging.
Ability to reason about vehicle behaviour, sensor/model inputs, timing, failure modes, and feature-level decision logic.
Experience working cross-functionally with teams such as ML, perception, planning, controls, vehicle integration, product, or systems engineering.
Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to make pragmatic engineering trade-offs under ambiguity.
A quality mindset, with experience writing testable, maintainable software and using data to validate behaviour.
