About the Role

This is a high-impact technical leadership role focused on Wayve’s Robotaxi launch. You will define the end-to-end architecture connecting vehicle telemetry and intent with real-time human operator support, balancing latency, reliability, and safety. As a foundational team member, you will set technical direction and convert deep technical decisions into impactful product features. This role offers a growth path from an individual contributor to leading a team as the program scales.

Responsibilities

  • Own the architecture and technical roadmap for Remote Assistance across onboard integration, offboard services, and operator tooling/HMI.
  • Define and drive the vehicle ↔ operator “contract” (data, authority bounds, fallback/MRM behaviour, and failure handling).
  • Lead cross-team execution across autonomy, safety, platform/infra, and product partners, turning architecture into deliverable workstreams.
  • Establish system-level quality bars (latency budgets, reliability targets, monitoring, replay/evidence, incident learning loops) for safety-critical RA operation.
  • Act as the technical interface to engineering leadership and safety stakeholders, shaping how RA feeds into the evolving L4 safety case.

Requirements

  • Staff-level experience building and owning real-time, safety-critical systems (e.g., AV/robotics, teleoperation, aerospace/avionics, industrial control, medical devices).
  • Strong product and customer orientation; able to connect technical performance metrics to rider experience, operational outcomes, and launch readiness.
  • Proven ability to lead cross-org technical roadmaps and land work across multiple teams you don’t directly manage (architecture, alignment, execution).
  • Deep hands-on expertise in at least one of: low-latency video/telemetry streaming, robotics/AV system integration, control systems, or human-in-the-loop system design.
  • Strong safety-first engineering instincts: failure-mode thinking, fallback/MRM design, operational constraints/ODD enforcement, and evidence-driven decision making.
  • Direct experience with teleoperation / remote driving / remote assistance systems, including operator UX and authority boundaries.
  • Familiarity with safety frameworks and processes relevant to autonomy (e.g., functional safety concepts, safety cases, hazard analysis).
  • Experience scaling production systems in ambiguous, fast-moving environments (from prototype to operational reliability).
