About the Role
As a Staff Robotics Engineer in Wayve's AV Core organisation, you will lead the technical direction and delivery of fault detection and fallback systems for driverless operation. You will work alongside machine learning experts to build robust systems, and do some ML yourself. Physical AI is not just a learning problem; deployment in the real-world requires deep systems understanding of robotics. The Core Model Safety team builds foundational capabilities for assisted and automated driving - collision avoidance, model understanding, and robustness under failure. You will work in a focused, high-impact senior team with strong ownership, access to large-scale training and fleet data, and close partners in research, simulation, evaluation, and applied engineering.
Responsibilities
- Set the technical strategy and roadmap for fault detection and fallback, from a robotics systems perspective, including its behavioral scope, operating envelope, system interfaces, and measurable acceptance criteria.
- Design and train fault detection mechanisms using the methods best supported by evidence to enable robust driverless operation.
- Collaborate across functions and expertise areas with machine learning, inference optimisation, software engineers, etc.
- Lead integration into the shared driving stack, align technical decisions across teams, and raise the bar through architecture reviews, mentoring, and clear communication of risks, trade-offs, and evidence.
- Use your judgement and expertise to improve the overall robustness of the robot system (beyond just fault detection and fallback).
Requirements
- Proficiency in developing, implementing, and troubleshooting robotics solutions, backed by practical, real-world experience.
- A track record of staff-level technical leadership: setting direction for ambiguous programmes, aligning multiple teams, and carrying work from research through production deployment.
- Exceptional technical judgement and communication: able to make safety-relevant trade-offs explicit, define the evidence needed for decisions, and lead without relying on formal authority.
- Experience with Python and C++ for robotics.
- Proven experience in deploying and maintaining fleets of robots or vehicles under real-world conditions.
- Ability to create and refine data collection and analysis tools.
- Experience setting up cloud-based monitoring solutions for large-scale fleets, including dashboards, logging, and real-time alerts.
- Familiarity with low-level hardware interactions and real-time constraints for safety-critical applications.
- Experience with machine learning and inference optimisation.
