Software Engineer, Embedded Automotive Platform

Overview

In this role, you will design and implement high-performance C++ software for the Wayve Driver core and its platform-adaptation layers. You’ll develop embedded applications on Linux, QNX and other RTOS, and validate the autonomy stack on automotive reference platforms and Wayve’s fleet. You’ll profile and optimize cross-boundary performance, owning features end-to-end from design to production support. You’ll collaborate with distributed teams across Israel, the UK and the US to deliver automotive-grade software that scales across platforms. This is a hands-on, impact-driven opportunity to advance Wayve’s driver technology on real vehicles.
