Senior Software Engineer, Cloud, Simulation

As a software engineer for Wayve’s Simulation Technology team, you will be an expert software engineer who evolves a core component of Wayve’s simulation platform, which is used to develop and evaluate Wayve’s driving intelligence.

Wayve’s approach to autonomous driving presents unique challenges for simulation. Our end to end driving stack requires a simulator that is both highly realistic and highly descriptive. Our approach to simulation brings together a combination of classical simulation techniques with cutting edge developments in machine learning to represent the real world in high fidelity at scale.

You will be responsible for shaping and implementing the technical roadmap in one of three key areas: robot emulator fidelity, visual fidelity, or efficient scaling. You will be working closely with our robotics, research, platform and data teams, as well as the rest of the Simulation Technology team to ensure that our simulation platform meets the needs of our end-users by providing accurate, scalable, and high-signal simulations.

Own key performance indicators (KPIs) for simulator cost, SLOs, throughput, latency, etc.

Work cross-company on aligning technical dependencies for simulator implementation

Lead technical discussions and guide technical direction

Effectively integrate the components of the simulated robot into the simulation platform

Effectively integrate machine-learned graphics subsystems into the simulation platform

Implement production quality software in Python

Experience with workflow orchestration systems (e.g. Airflow, Dagster, Flyte, etc.) and/or developing data intensive applications

Excellent development skills in Python
