About the role
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.
Our ML performance team optimises inference for edge accelerators and GPUs, so large transformer-based models run efficiently on low-cost, low-power in-vehicle compute. We work closely with model, platform and deployment teams to turn research models into reliable production systems for Wayve's driving product.
Your day-to-day This is a hands-on role across ML systems, compilers, runtimes, kernels and embedded deployment. You'll find bottlenecks, implement performance improvements, and work with model developers on performance trade-offs so deployment-aware decisions are made early.
