Robotaxi Systems Engineer: Architect Vehicle Interfaces

OpenDigital Limited; Sunnyvale, Northern (CA, KY); Hybrid; USD 210,000 - 311,000; Full time

Job summary

Wayve, based in Sunnyvale, CA, seeks a hands-on Robotaxi systems engineer to transform the reference architecture into defined requirements and interfaces. You will work with OEMs, Tier1s, and Robotaxi operators to delineate boundaries and drive technical discussions that ensure a scalable, safe driver-out system.

You will bridge hardware, embedded software, autonomy, safety, vehicle integration, and offboard services while delivering verifiable, testable engineering artifacts for implementation.

Qualifications

• Direct, hands-on experience designing, integrating, or deploying a Robotaxi or production-intent L4 driver-out autonomous system.
• Systems engineering across multiple parts of a system (vehicle, sensors, compute, ADS, safety, operations).
• Translate use cases into functional requirements, interfaces, assumptions, trade studies, and verification intent.
• Define system boundaries across multiple companies or partners (OEMs, Tier1, operators, autonomy developers).
• Vehicle/robotic-system integration including bring-up, debugging, and change impact analysis.
• Familiarity with safety concepts (SOTIF, fail-operational, redundancy, hazard analyses).

Responsibilities

• Own the systems engineering for defined Robotaxi architecture components.
• Translate use cases into system requirements and interfaces.
• Collaborate with OEMs, Tier1s, and operators to set boundaries and drive design discussions.
• Apply reference architecture to vehicle programs across sensors, compute, and interfaces.
• Support reviews, bring-up planning, issue triage and design-change impact analysis.
• Escalate cross-domain trade-offs to the lead architect and domain owners.
