About the role
- We are looking for a System Architect -Robotaxi to help shape how Wayve AI Driver is deployed across advanced autonomous driving and robotaxi systems.
- You will connect system-level understanding with practical implementation, helping ensure that Wayve's technology can scale across multiple products, OEMs, and deployment models.
Responsibilities
- Identify where robotaxi-specific requirements should drive changes or additions in Wayve's product architecture, integration strategy, and roadmap.
- Work closely with internal architecture teams across AI, systems, safety, compute, sensors, and platform to maintain a coherent overall architecture.
- Partner with OEMs, Tier1s, and robotaxi ecosystem partners on integration concepts, technical scope, architectural trade-offs, and deployment readiness.
- Support architecture through implementation, including integration planning, technical reviews, bring-up, issue triage, and system-level debugging.
- Experience working with OEMs, Tier1s, or external technical partners
- Hands-on enough to support technical problem-solving, bring-up discussions, and integration trade-offs in practice
Requirements
- Strong understanding of system architecture across sensors, compute, embedded software, vehicle integration, and safety
- Experience with robotaxi, L4, or eyes-off autonomous systems
- Experience with AI or ML-based driving systems
- Experience with functional safety, SOTIF, or fail-operational system concepts
- You are a strong systems thinker who can reason across robotics or autonomous driving systems without losing sight of practical implementation.
- You understand how complex products come together across hardware, software, ML, safety, and vehicle integration, and you can turn that understanding into crisp architecture and actionable decisions.
Compensation
- This role is a full-time role based in Sunnyvale, CA (hybrid) and the reasonably estimated salary for this role ranges from $286,800 to $344,100, plus a competitive equity package.
