Make Wayve the experience that defines your career!
As an Engineering Manager in the Embedded Automotive Platforms (EAP) team, you’ll lead a US-based team building portable, production-grade core libraries and standardized APIs that sit at the boundary between Wayve’s autonomy stack and real vehicle platforms. Your team’s work enables Wayve software to run reliably across multiple automotive reference platforms and runtime environments (e.g., NVIDIA Drive Orin on Linux/QNX, Qualcomm platforms), accelerating real-world AV experiments and customer programs.
This is a hands-on engineering management role: you’ll be expected to spend roughly 40% of your time coding/designing and ~60% leading, coaching, and delivering through the team.
This is a full-time role based in our office in Sunnyvale. At Wayve we want the best of all worlds so we operate a hybrid working policy that combines time together in our offices and workshops to fuel innovation, culture, relationships and learning, and time spent working from home.
