System Integration Engineer

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 

We’re looking for a System Integration Engineer to lead the integration and bring-up of cutting edge autonomous vehicle platforms. In this role, you'll work across hardware and software boundaries to prototype, assemble, and test complex systems both in-vehicle and on development benches. You will also support vehicle integration development and issue troubleshooting to improve the performance and reliability of our next-generation systems.

Key responsibilities:

• Integration and bring-up of autonomous systems on internal and partner vehicles

• Architect, prototype and evaluate new hardware systems

• Support fleet troubleshooting and issue resolution

• Inform and improve system integration processes and workflow

• Bring-up and maintain of development benches and HIL systems

About you  

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

Essential:

• 7+ years experience integrating and developing complex systems

• Breadth of technical comprehension across electrical, mechanical, and software systems

• Proven hands-on experience debugging and assembling hardware/software systems

• Excellent communication and collaboration skills across engineering disciplines

• Multidisciplinary troubleshooting skills with a strong sense of ownership and initiative

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or equivalent experience.

Desirable:

• Experience working on autonomous vehicles, robotics, or similar advanced systems

• Skilled in prototyping electronics, wire harnesses, and custom hardware components

• Comfortable working in Linux environments and with scripting tools

• Ability to read and understand code in languages such as C++, Python, or JavaScript

• Experience using application level software for testing, flashing, and triaging issues

• Working with suppliers and contract manufacturers for design validation and manufacturing

This role is a full-time role based in Sunnyvale, CA (hybrid) and the reasonably estimated salary for this role ranges from $246,400 to $333,400, plus a competitive equity package. Actual compensation is based on the candidate's skills, qualifications, and experience. 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.
