Engineering Technician

Before the detail, here's the challenge you'd help us solve.

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.

Here’s what this particular role covers.

The role

• Build, test, and maintain vehicles and Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) setups with high-performance compute and sensor systems.
• Diagnose, repair, and rework hardware system failures on compute systems, embedded modules, wiring harnesses, sensors, and other hardware components.
• Collaborate with hardware and software engineering teams to execute one-off tests of hardware configurations and assist in troubleshooting issues.
• Maintain and manage workshop equipment, tools, and inventory, ensuring an organized and efficient workspace.
• Support prototype assembly and modifications, contributing to the continuous improvement of engineering designs.
• Document workshop procedures, test results, and system configurations to ensure reproducibility and consistency in testing.
• Support initial bring-up and commissioning of vehicles and contribute to overall system integration improvements
• Stay up to date with emerging technologies and best practices in hardware systems and contribute innovative solutions to workshop challenges. E.g 3D printing, Jira, AI tools

About you

In order to set you up for success as a Workshop Engineer at Wayve, we’re looking for the following skills and experience.

Essential

• Your tenacity to get the job done is off the charts. You get stuck in and when you see a problem you don’t stop until it’s done.
• Understanding the second and third order effects of decisions
• Actively built wiring harnesses, with an ability to read a wiring diagram
• Experience building complex systems in a fast-paced production environment.
• Strong organizational skills and ability to manage multiple tasks in a dynamic environment.
• Excellent troubleshooting and problem-solving abilities.
• Ability to work collaboratively with engineering teams and provide technical support when needed.
• Passion for learning, growing, and improving technical expertise in the autonomy field.

Desirable

• Hands-on experience building and maintaining autonomous vehicle hardware systems including vehicles, compute platforms, sensors (LiDAR, radar, cameras), and wiring harnesses.
• Prior experience flashing and commissioning systems
• Experience with change management and version control systems

This is a full-time role based in our office in London. At Wayve we want the best of all worlds so we operate a hybrid working policy that combines time together in our offices and workshops to fuel innovation, culture, relationships and learning, and time spent working from home. We operate core working hours so you can determine the schedule that works best for you and your team.

A quick, honest note before you apply.

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.
