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.
Engineering Technician🛠️.
The team works across vehicles, compute, sensors, electronics and test infrastructure to turn engineering ideas into reliable hardware that can be built, commissioned, tested and scaled.
🧠 Your day-to-dayAs an Engineering Technician at Wayve, you'll work hands-on with the vehicles, compute platforms, sensors and Hardware-in-the-Loop setups that support development of our AI Driver.
You'll build, test, commission, diagnose and rework complex hardware systems, working closely with hardware and software engineers to resolve issues quickly and improve how systems are assembled, validated and maintained.
This is a practical workshop-based role with direct impact on prototype vehicles and engineering development.
🧩 What you’ll be working on:• Build, test and maintain vehicles and Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) setups with high-performance compute and sensor systems.
• Diagnose, repair and rework hardware system failures across compute systems, embedded modules, wiring harnesses, sensors and other hardware components.
• Collaborate with hardware and software engineering teams to execute one-off tests of hardware configurations and assist in troubleshooting issues.
• Maintain and manage workshop equipment, tools and inventory, ensuring an organised and efficient workspace.
• Support prototype assembly and modifications, contributing to the continuous improvement of engineering designs.
• Document workshop procedures, test results and system configurations.
