Full-time
Senior Machine Learning Engineer, Vision Models
Job description
Founded in 2017, Wayve is the leading developer of Embodied AI technology. Our advanced AI software and foundation models enable vehicles to perceive, understand, and navigate any complex environment, enhancing the usability and safety of automated driving systems.
Job responsibilities
- Develop the models - build, train, and fine-tune the scene understanding models at the centre of Wayve's offline measurement, adapting on-vehicle architectures and Wayve Foundation Models for offline use.
- Drive accuracy and generalisation - improve model performance across vehicle platforms, geographies, and driving conditions; diagnose failure modes and close the loop on blind spots.
- Exploit the offline environment - use the advantages the vehicle does not have: higher compute budgets, larger model capacity, bidirectional temporal context, and multi-task or joint representation learning.
- Measure what you build - benchmark your models, set quality bars, and use metrics and error analysis to steer the next iteration; treat measurement as the feedback that drives the modelling.
- Make the evidence credible - ensure benchmarked results are statistically defensible and fit to feed validation pipelines at scale and our broader safety cases, across the product portfolio.
- Align priorities and mentor - work day-to-day with on-vehicle modelling, evaluation, data curation, and simulation teams across sites; contribute to strong engineering and modelling practice; mentor others on the team;
