Vehicle Performance Modelling Engineer

Overview

As a Vehicle Performance Modelling Engineer, you will build and validate physics- and data-driven vehicle models for Wayve’s end-to-end driving stack. You’ll translate models into efficient software components and verify accuracy with simulations and real-world data. You’ll collaborate with robotics, simulation, and product teams to shape online and offline vehicle representations. This role offers a chance to influence the future of vehicle dynamics at scale in a fast-paced, inclusive culture.

Responsibilities

• Develop virtual vehicle models using physics-based and data-driven approaches
• Create detailed mathematical and physical models of vehicles and subsystems
• Validate models against on-road data and implement correlation improvements
• Implement models as efficient software components meeting accuracy, performance, and scalability needs
• Lead performance analysis through tools and experiments to assess on-road metrics
• Plan, execute and analyze experimental tests to improve model accuracy
• Communicate results and insights to stakeholders to foster collaboration and drive innovation

Key requirements

• Experience in developing mathematical models and simulation algorithms for vehicle dynamics, robotics or control systems
• Understanding of classical mechanics, numerical analysis and computational methods
• Experience in validating simulation models against experimental data
• Software development with C++ or Python

• Collaborative mindset
• Effective communication
• Problem-solving and curiosity
• Mathematical modelling and simulation of vehicle dynamics
• C++ or Python software development
• Validation against experimental data
