Key skills for this role
We’re looking for a Senior Machine Learning Engineer to join a high-ownership team responsible for delivering production-ready model releases as our OEM engagements and release cadence accelerate. This is an applied, delivery-focused MLE role—ideal for engineers who love shipping real systems and iterating quickly.
You’ll work on taking models from “works in training” to “meets product constraints,” partnering closely with teams downstream (e.g., inference/performance specialists) to ensure models are ready for deployment on-vehicle. As model capability grows, you’ll help keep the system within tight runtime constraints using a practical model optimisation techniques (e.g., quantisation, distillation, low-rank methods) where appropriate.
In order to set you up for success in this role at Wayve, we’re looking for the following skills and experience:

Proven experience improving performance in production systems with tight constraints (latency, memory, bandwidth, power/thermal, or cost).
Strong hands-on experience training and iterating on deep learning models in PyTorch (not just using high-level tooling).
Strong proficiency with at least one relevant stack/toolchain (e.g. TensorRT, CUDA, Qualcomm QNN, Triton, OpenCL) and confidence learning adjacent frameworks quickly.
Comfort operating at multiple levels of abstraction — from high-level model behaviour down to low-level kernel/runtime execution.
Familiarity with model optimisation concepts such as quantisation and/or distillation (hands-on is a strong signal, but not a strict requirement if the fundamentals are solid).
Ability to reason across multiple levels of abstraction—from high-level model behaviour down to practical runtime/latency implications.
Strong engineering fundamentals and collaboration skills.
Experience working on models that must meet tight latency / efficiency constraints (edge, embedded, real-time, or similarly constrained production settings).
Exposure to ML systems spanning training → evaluation → deployment handoff (even if you’re not writing kernels day-to-day).
Exposure to embedded or edge deployment of ML models, including benchmarking on real devices and handling system-level constraints.
