About the Role

We are seeking an exceptional Principal Application SW Engineer to join our Japan-based team, focusing on localizing and advancing Wayve's autonomous driving technology for the Japanese market. This role offers a unique opportunity to shape our AV capabilities in Japan from the ground up, with hands-on involvement in bringing up and validating our AI software stack on customer hardware platforms.

Responsibilities

• Execute software bring-up on customer hardware platforms (e.g. NVIDIA Drive, Qualcomm Ride).
• Port and configure Linux-based systems, QNX, and Adaptive AUTOSAR environments.
• Integrate and validate drivers, middleware, and boot-time configurations.
• Collaborate with Verification & Release teams to integrate hardware into CI/CD, HIL, and test infrastructure.
• Work with OEM and Tier 1 teams to resolve hardware-specific integration issues.
• Implement system-level diagnostics, logging, and secure boot configuration.
• Develop automation for setup, flashing, health checks, and test execution on target hardware.

Requirements

• 8+ years of experience in embedded or automotive software development, ideally with hands-on platform bring-up experience.
• Strong proficiency in C/C++, Bash, and Python.
• Deep understanding of Linux-based embedded systems (Yocto, systemd, bootloaders, device trees).
• Familiarity with QNX and Adaptive AUTOSAR environments and the ability to configure and debug them on target hardware.
• Experience with bring-up on automotive-grade SoCs (e.g., NVIDIA Orin, Qualcomm SA8295/SA8650, Renesas, TI).
• Comfortable working with hardware debuggers, flashing tools, serial consoles, and board support packages (BSPs).
• Familiarity with communication protocols like CAN, Ethernet, PCIe, SPI, I2C.
• Hands-on experience integrating embedded platforms into CI/CD pipelines and test automation frameworks.
• Exposure to automotive verification environments (e.g., HIL systems, Vector toolchains, custom CI rigs).
• Experience working in a safety-critical domain with an understanding of ISO 26262, boot-time determinism, and watchdogs.
• Understanding of secure boot, OTA updates, and system-level cybersecurity topics.
• Familiarity with Docker, Jenkins, Git, and artifact management tools like JFrog Artifactory.
