About the Role

Waabi is seeking an engineer to own the technical integration of the Waabi Driver with an OEM partner, from program setup through driverless operation. This role acts as Waabi's technical face to the OEM, turning company goals into an integrated program plan and ensuring alignment across various engineering teams to meet milestones.

Responsibilities

Own the technical integration of the Waabi Driver with an OEM partner, from program setup through driverless operation.
Be part of a team of multidisciplinary Engineers and Research Scientists using an AI-first approach to enable safe self-driving at scale.
Turn company goals into an integrated program plan with the partner, covering Waabi and OEM deliverables, cross-team dependencies and the critical path.
Balance resources and priorities across Hardware, Embedded, Onboard, Infra and Autonomy, and make trade-off calls when one plan affects another.
Act as Waabi's technical face to the OEM and build trust at every level, from executive reviews to working-level engineering teams.
Go deep when it matters: work with engineers on test vehicles to triage integration issues and drive them to a decision.
Spot risk before it reaches the schedule, bring options with a recommendation, and escalate early and clearly.
Hold Waabi's technical standards with the partner, adapting to how each OEM works and pushing back credibly when needed.
Develop and maintain program reporting for Waabi leadership and partner executive forums.

Requirements

8+ years of engineering experience in vehicle development, autonomous vehicles, ADAS or robotics, including 3+ years leading technical integration programs.
Bachelor's degree or higher in Mechanical, Electrical, Computer or Systems Engineering, or a related technical field.
Breadth across actuation and autonomy system integration (sensors, compute, embedded, and software) and the judgment to weigh trade-offs between them.
Ability to rapidly go deep on a technical issue with engineers, work it to a decision, and return to the program view.
Solid problem solving using dependency mapping, critical-path analysis and risk management, with clear options for leadership.
Strong written and verbal communication, equally effective in an OEM executive review and a test-vehicle debug session.
Comfort with ambiguity and a startup pace: filters signal from noise and adds structure without adding overhead.
Open-minded and collaborative team player with the willingness to help others.
Passionate about self-driving technologies, solving hard problems, and creating innovative solutions.
