About the Role
As a Vehicle Validation Engineer at Wayve, you will play a key role in enabling the real-world deployment of our end-to-end AI driving systems. You will ensure our vehicles are ready for testing and that test activities deliver high-quality, reliable data to accelerate development. You will help shape how we test and operate autonomous vehicles at scale, developing validation approaches, improving systems, and working closely with engineering, product, and operations teams. You will also contribute to how vehicle performance is evaluated and communicated, providing feedback on system behavior, performance gaps, and real-world driving quality from a customer perspective.
Responsibilities
- Plan and execute vehicle tests to support development, validation, benchmarking, and real-world deployment.
- Develop and improve vehicle validation test concepts to evaluate system performance across a range of real-world scenarios.
- Work closely with engineering, product, and operations teams to translate testing needs into effective test activities.
- Ensure vehicles are prepared, maintained, and consistently ready for safe and efficient testing.
- Deliver high-quality test data, performance reporting, and actionable insights to support rapid iteration and decision-making.
- Provide detailed feedback on vehicle behaviour, driving performance, and system gaps from both technical and customer perspectives.
- Conduct benchmarking activities to evaluate system performance and track progress over time.
- Develop and improve testing processes, documentation, and operational best practices as the team scales.
- Manage relationships with external suppliers and service partners.
Requirements
- Experience with CANalyzer, CANoe, or similar tools for vehicle diagnostics, along with vehicle instrumentation and data logging tools (e.g. Vector, ETAS, Racelogic).
- Experience executing structured vehicle tests in proving ground and/or real-world environments.
- Comfortable working across Linux, Windows, and SSH-based environments.
- Ability to interpret technical requirements and translate them into clear test cases and validation plans.
- Strong communication skills, with the ability to work effectively across engineering, product, and operations teams.
- Proactive, hands-on approach with a focus on improving processes, tools, and ways of working.
- Understanding of safe testing practices and risk assessments in safety-critical environments.
- Ability to analyse test data and deliver clear, actionable insights to engineering teams.
