Responsibilities
• Define and manage the technical architecture for customer vehicle integrations, focusing on the interfaces between Wayve software and OEM or Tier 1 systems. • Partner with Product Management to translate product requirements and customer program needs into clear, actionable technical specifications. • Turn ambiguous customer discussions into explicit ownership boundaries, interface contracts, assumptions, dependencies and open technical decisions. • Work with Software Architects to assess feasibility and align customer integration needs with Wayve’s core architecture. • Coordinate with Validation Engineers to define integration test requirements and ensure requirements are verifiable. • Represent Wayve in OEM and Tier 1 technical discussions, keeping internal teams and external partners aligned on architecture, integration plans and technical risks. • 🧩 What you’ll be working on • Software–vehicle interfaces: Define how Wayve’s AI Driver connects with vehicle platforms, including sensors, signals, middleware, ECU constraints, real-time execution, diagnostics and data logging. • Scalable customer integrations: Address customer-specific needs without unnecessarily fragmenting Wayve’s core product architecture. • Technical specifications and documentation: Develop interface specifications, integration guides, architecture diagrams, ownership boundary definitions and decision records. • Validation-ready architecture: Translate integration needs and safety assumptions into clear requirements that can be tested and verified. • Program planning and risk management: Identify integration complexity, technical gaps, dependencies, risks and required partner deliverables to support realistic planning and informed decisions. • 🙌 You should apply if • You have systems and software architecture experience in ADAS, autonomous driving, embedded software or vehicle systems, particularly at the software–vehicle interface. • You understand vehicle electronics and embedded systems, including ECU integration, real-time execution, timing, diagnostics and automotive technologies such as CAN, Automotive Ethernet, SOME/IP or AUTOSAR. • You’ve worked with automotive OEMs or Tier 1 suppliers, translating customer needs into clear technical specifications, interface contracts, ownership boundaries and validation-ready requirements. • You collaborate effectively across product, software, hardware, safety, validation and customer-facing teams, aligning technical decisions from individual components through to complete vehicle systems. • You’re comfortable owning ambiguous technical problems independently, identifying risks and dependencies, and communicating architectural decisions clearly through documentation, diagrams and technical discussions.
Benefits

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/
