The Role

The Manager of the Onboard Software Test team leads the design, build, and scaling of our automated test suites for our internal production fleet. Their team helps ensure the reliability, performance, and safety of the software that runs on our autonomous vehicle (AV) development platforms. The internal production fleet is critical to our data gathering efforts and model experimentation. The reliability of our software directly impacts the reliability of our fleet.

You'll collaborate with technical leads across Vehicle Software, Inference, AV Stack, and Reliability Engineering to embed automated testing into our development workflow and help define and execute on a roadmap that enables Wayve to scale safely and swiftly.

Key Responsibilities :

  • Build and lead our internal test team
  • Team leadership and strategic planning
  • Mentorship and talent development
  • Partnering with Development leads to drive our testing strategy

About You

In order to set you up for success as at Wayve, we're looking for the following skills and experience (you do not have to check every box!) :

Essential :

  • A testing mindset.
  • Experience leading a software quality or test automation team, preferably in embedded systems, robotics, or hardware-integrated software environments.
  • Strong technical background in developing or maintaining scalable automated test frameworks.
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills across engineering and product domains.
  • Desirable :

  • Experience with automotive-grade or safety-adjacent systems (e.g., HIL, SIL, FMEA, hardware diagnostics).
  • Familiarity with CI / CD pipelines, telemetry and observability stacks, or deployment systems for embedded software.
  • Background in autonomous systems, AV validation, or hardware-in-the-loop testing infrastructure.
  • Exposure to Python-based test orchestration, fuzz testing, or simulation tools.
  • Track record of mentoring engineers and building healthy, high-performance team cultures.
  • Deep understanding of test strategies for complex systems : from unit to integration to end-to-end testing.
  • Experience working with high-performance, multi-threaded systems and low-level software (e.g., C++, Rust).
  • This is a full-time role based in our office in Sunnyvale but is open for remote. At Wayve we want the best of all worlds so we operate a hybrid working policy that combines time together in our offices and workshops to fuel innovation, culture, relationships and learning, and time spent working from home. We operate core working hours so you can determine the schedule that works best for you and your team.

    We understand that everyone has a unique set of skills and experiences and that not everyone will meet all of the requirements listed above. If you're passionate about self-driving cars and think you have what it takes to make a positive impact on the world, we encourage you to apply.
