Software Engineer, Simulation

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.

As a software engineer in Wayve’s Core Simulation team, you will help develop the simulation system used to evaluate and improve Wayve’s driving intelligence. Wayve’s end-to-end driving stack creates unique simulation challenges: rather than testing independently specified modules, we need to reproduce the behaviour of a learned driving system across a complex combination of sensor data, model inference, routing, control and vehicle dynamics.

Our simulator must be realistic enough to provide meaningful signal, reproducible enough for teams to trust the results, and descriptive enough to understand differences between simulated and on-road behaviour. Our open-loop and closed-loop simulation workflows share a common codebase, with different components executed and configured depending on the use case. You will initially work with the team focused on high-scale open-loop evaluation, while contributing to shared components and infrastructure used across the broader simulation system. Your day-to-day - Work hands-on in the shared modern C++ and Python simulation codebase.
