Embedded Software Engineer (Onboard Test Automation)

Join Wayve as an Embedded Software Engineer, where you'll validate onboard software systems before full-vehicle testing. You'll work across various embedded compute platforms and operating systems, ensuring software reliability and readiness for real-world deployment. Your contributions will directly improve software quality and enable faster iteration across multiple teams.

• Design, develop, and execute automated tests for onboard software subsystems, ensuring software reliability and integration.
• Collaborate with software engineers to identify test gaps, build coverage for new and existing features, and enable developer self-service testing.
• Debug and triage system-level issues across software and hardware boundaries, contributing to CI pipelines and reusable test frameworks.
• Experience testing embedded software systems, ideally on Linux or QNX-based platforms
• Understanding of software testing principles, including automation, integration testing, and system validation
• Experience working with embedded hardware platforms and understanding hardware/software interactions
• Proven ability to debug and triage complex issues across system layers
• Strong programming skills in Python, C++, or similar languages for test development and automation
• Experience with hardware-in-the-loop (HiL) testing environments
• Familiarity with sensor systems or data pipelines (e.g., camera, radar, or similar)
• Experience working with CI/CD systems (e.g., Buildkite) and test pipeline integration
• Exposure to robotics, autonomous systems, or real-time software environments
