About the Role
As a Mechanical Engineer at Wayve, you’ll design and deliver robust integration solutions for compute and sensors on real-world vehicles, working on programs with leading automotive partners. You’ll take ideas from concept through prototype and into manufacture, owning quality and trade-offs. This is a hands-on role with clear impact on how our systems are built, tested, installed, and scaled.
Responsibilities
- Design and integrate mechanical solutions for sensors and compute across a range of vehicle platforms.
- Own mechanical design trade-offs (performance, cost, manufacturability, serviceability) while maintaining a high quality bar.
- Develop and build HiLs, test rigs, jigs, and fixtures to support validation and integration.
- Produce clear 2D drawings, assemblies, and BOMs; apply GD&T to ensure repeatable builds.
- Partner with supply chain and external suppliers to source and manufacture parts (sheet metal, machining, vacuum casting, 3D printing, etc.).
- Collaborate cross-functionally with electronics and other engineering teams to integrate compute/sensor architectures.
- Create build instructions, inspection checklists, and safety/quality documentation; support knowledge transfer to Fleet and field teams.
Requirements
- 4+ years’ experience in mechanical/design engineering, with a portfolio of relevant work.
- Proficiency in SolidWorks (and ideally SolidWorks PDM), including master model development and multi‑part assemblies.
- Experience with common manufacturing processes (e.g., sheet metal, machining, vacuum casting, 3D printing) and design-for-manufacture considerations.
- Strong experience designing/building test jigs, rigs, and fixtures; comfort working hands-on in a workshop environment.
- Strong 2D drawing and assembly skills, BOM management, and working knowledge of GD&T.
- Experience using risk assessment methods such as FMEA/DFMEA.
- Surface modelling experience.
- Familiarity with aluminium extrusion-based builds.
- Understanding of electronic systems (e.g., voltage basics, harness development, compute selection).
- Hands-on FDM printing experience.
