Job summary

Wayve is building embodied intelligence for real-world driving. The team develops perception models, trains data pipelines, and iterates rapidly across CV/3D tasks to improve on-road safety and performance.

We work in a hybrid model, connecting in-vehicle and offline data work with a strong emphasis on measurable impact. The role involves end-to-end ownership of model development, evaluation, and data generation, with equity sharing and relocation sponsorship where applicable.

Qualifications

• Built and shipped CV-focused deep learning systems.
• Experience with 3D perception concepts or pipelines (LiDAR, 3D reconstruction, tracking).
• Comfortable owning work end-to-end including dataset generation and evaluation.

Responsibilities

• Train, debug, and improve CV and 3D perception models.
• Work across the full ML lifecycle: data, training, evaluation, iteration.
• Build scalable data pipelines including auto- and pseudo-labelling.

Job description

Описание

We build the embodied intelligence that moves real vehicles safely, and the ecosystem a billion machines will run on in the future. Very few people in AI can say this. Every role here, whatever the team, plugs into that. Wayve's ADAS engineering teams build the perception and intelligence that power driver assistance in real-world driving. We work end-to-end, from creating high-quality training data, to developing and evaluating CV/3D perception models, to iterating quickly based on performance gaps. The team mixes "online" (on-car, latency/compute constrained) and "offline" (heavier, large-scale data generation) work, with a strong focus on measurable impact and shipping.

Задачи

• Train, debug, and improve computer vision and 3D perception models, iterating based on clear evaluation signals
• Work across the full ML lifecycle: data, training, evaluation, and iteration
• Partner with the team to decide what to tackle next, based on where the system is underperforming
• Build scalable data pipelines, including auto-labelling and pseudo-labelling, to accelerate model development
• Core ADAS perception capabilities such as detection, classification, and instance segmentation, spanning lanes, objects, traffic signs, and traffic lights
• End-to-end approaches that let the model act on the world directly, rather than relying on a chain of hand-coded intermediate steps (lane assist without ever explicitly detecting lane lines is the kind of outcome we're after)
• Online perception that runs fast in-car as part of our production stack
• Offline perception work using additional inputs not viable for on-road production, including extra sensors like lidar, future frames, maps, and extra compute, to improve data quality and coverage at scale
• Building the "data flywheel": using offline models and 3D tracking/reconstruction to auto-generate labels and accelerate iteration across perception tasks

Требования

• Built and shipped CV-focused deep learning systems, with strong applied ML engineering rather than research-only work
• Experience with 3D perception concepts or pipelines, such as LiDAR, multi-view geometry, tracking, or 3D reconstruction
• Comfortable owning work end-to-end, including evaluation and large-scale dataset generation
• Enjoy pragmatic problem-solving under real product constraints
• Excited to improve real-world driving performance through better perception
• If you're passionate about autonomy and keen to learn, we encourage you to apply even if you don't meet every requirement.
• Будет плюсом: Automotive domain experience is a bonus, but not a blocker if your perception background comes from elsewhere
