wayve - Vehicle Performance Modelling Engineer, Robotics
Responsibilities
• Develop virtual vehicle models using physics-based and data-driven techniques • Validate models against on-road data and implement correlation improvements • Convert models into efficient, high-quality software components that meet accuracy, performance, and scalability requirements • Plan, run, and analyse experimental tests at the track or with external partners to improve model accuracy • Share results and insights with stakeholders across robotics, simulation, and product teams • 🧩 What you'll be working on: • Virtual vehicle models that integrate with advanced modelling technologies, becoming the go-to tool for simulation and evaluation at Wayve • Metrics and KPIs that define what "representative" means for our simulations, feeding gaps back into modelling • Model integration across Wayve's simulation, hardware-in-the-loop, and correlation pipelines • Cross-functional vehicle characterisation work with robotics, simulation, and product teams • Room to specialise over time, whether that's pure modelling, correlation/metrics, or experimental track work, as the team scales • 👤 You should apply if: • Experience developing mathematical models and simulation algorithms for vehicle dynamics, robotics, or control systems • A strong grasp of classical mechanics, numerical analysis, and computational methods • You've validated simulation models against experimental data, and know what "good enough" looks like • Confident writing production-quality code in C++ or Python • Bring previous experience in vehicle dynamics for autonomous vehicles, automotive, or motorsport • Comfortable with data-driven approaches, such as machine learning or system identification, for modelling systems with unknown physical parameters • Know your way around high-fidelity vehicle dynamics tools (e.g. Dymola, CarSim, CarMaker) and how to integrate them into simulation workflows • 🌱 Not ticking every box? That's totally okay! If you're passionate about autonomy and keen to learn, we encourage you to apply even if you don't meet every requirement.
Benefits
• 💰 Salaries benchmarked against the market annually • 📈 Meaningful equity, sharing in the ownership and long term success of Wayve • ✈️ Relocation support and visa sponsorship where applicable • ✅ Hybrid working, core hours and the chance to work hands on in vehicle workshops and labs • 📚 Learning and development budgets with support for training, conferences and growth • 🩺 Comprehensive benefits including health insurance, dental, enhanced maternity and paternity leave, retirement or pension where applicable, access to therapists, wellbeing partner discounts and more • Wayve is not a mature, fully-structured place with the playbook already written. Much of how we work is still being written, and if you join, you’ll help write it. That suits people who want real ownership more than people who need a settled structure from day one. • If that sounds like the kind of problem you want to spend your time on, we’d really like to hear from you. • At Wayve we're committed to creating a diverse, fair and respectful culture that is inclusive of everyone based on their unique skills and perspectives, and regardless of sex, race, religion or belief, ethnic or national origin, disability, age, citizenship, marital, domestic or civil partnership status, sexual orientation, gender identity, veteran status, pregnancy or related condition (including breastfeeding) or any other basis as protected by applicable law. • For more information visit Careers at Wayve. https://wayve.ai/careers/ To learn more about what drives us, visit Values at Wayve https://wayve.ai/careers/
