Wayve
This role focuses on building, scaling, and optimizing next-generation world model architectures to accelerate autonomous driving research through synthetic data generation. The position involves post-training world models for new embodiments, generating multimodal synthetic experience at scale, and integrating that data into the company's training stack. You will collaborate with ML researchers and platform engineers to improve generation throughput, diagnose failures, and expand coverage to new vehicle platforms and safety-critical scenarios.

Wayve is a UK-founded autonomous driving company developing "embodied AI" — end-to-end learning systems that enable vehicles to perceive, reason and act in complex, dynamic environments. Their camera-first, data-driven approach trains neural policies from real-world driving and simulation to scale capability across locations and vehicle platforms rather than relying on hand-engineered, map-heavy rules. Wayve builds software for both advanced driver assistance and full automated-driving applications, emphasizing adaptability and continual learning. They work with OEMs and fleet partners to commercialize scalable autonomy for real-world deployment.
