Senior Software Engineer - Platform Integration, Robot Software

As a Software Engineer on Wayve’s Platform Integration team, you will bring up new vehicle platforms and build reusable components for reliable robot software. You’ll work at the edge of onboard systems and vehicle hardware, enabling safe, scalable deployment across multiple programs. The role blends hands-on bench work with production software development, diagnosing cross-boundary issues and driving architectural improvements. You will contribute to diagnostics, tooling, and documentation to support long-term reliability. This is an opportunity to shape platform bring-up for a mission-driven company building mapless, hardware-agnostic autonomy at scale.
