wayve - Mechanical Design Engineer
Requirements
• You have surface modelling experience. • You are familiar with aluminium extrusion-based builds. • You have an understanding of electronic systems, such as voltage basics, harness development and compute selection. • You have hands-on FDM printing experience. • 🌱 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.
Responsibilities
• As a Mechanical Engineer at Wayve, you'll design and deliver robust integration solutions for compute and sensors on real-world vehicles, working on programmes with some of the world's leading automotive partners. You'll take ideas from concept through prototype and into manufacture, owning quality and design trade-offs along the way. This is a hands-on role with clear impact on how our systems are built, tested, installed and scaled. • Applicants are required to submit a portfolio showcasing relevant work alongside their resume. Applications without a portfolio may not be considered. • 🧩 What you’ll be working on: • Design and integrate mechanical solutions for sensors and compute across a range of vehicle platforms. • Own mechanical design trade-offs across performance, cost, manufacturability and serviceability while maintaining a high quality bar. • Develop and build HiLs, test rigs, jigs and fixtures to support validation and integration. • Produce clear 2D drawings, assemblies and BOMs, applying GD&T to ensure repeatable builds. • Partner with supply chain and external suppliers to source and manufacture parts using processes such as sheet metal, machining, vacuum casting and 3D printing. • Collaborate cross-functionally with electronics and other engineering teams to integrate compute and sensor architectures. • Create build instructions, inspection checklists and safety/quality documentation, and support knowledge transfer to Fleet and field teams. • 🙌 You should apply if: • You have 4+ years of experience in mechanical or design engineering, with a portfolio of relevant work. • You are proficient in SolidWorks, and ideally SolidWorks PDM, including master model development and multi-part assemblies. • You have experience with common manufacturing processes such as sheet metal, machining, vacuum casting and 3D printing, with strong design-for-manufacture judgement. • You have strong experience designing and building test jigs, rigs and fixtures, and are comfortable working hands-on in a workshop environment. • You have strong 2D drawing and assembly skills, experience managing BOMs, and a working knowledge of GD&T. • You have experience using risk assessment methods such as FMEA or DFMEA.
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 partnerships, team socials 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/
