Full job description
The role
As an Embedded Software Test Engineer at Wayve, you will play a key role in validating onboard software systems before they reach full-vehicle testing. You’ll work across a range of embedded compute platforms and operating systems to ensure software is reliable, integrated, and ready for real-world deployment. This is a high-impact role where your work directly improves software quality and enables faster iteration across multiple teams. You’ll help scale testing by building automated tests and empowering developers to validate their work earlier in the development cycle.
Key responsibilities:
Design, develop, and execute automated tests for onboard software subsystems (OS, middleware, sensors, and integration points)
Validate software behavior on embedded hardware platforms within hardware-in-the-loop environments
Collaborate with software engineers to identify test gaps and build coverage for new and existing features
Debug and triage system-level issues across software and hardware boundaries
Enable developer self-service testing by contributing to CI pipelines and reusable test frameworks
Support expansion of test coverage by leveraging existing validation tests and shifting them earlier in the development cycle
About you
In order to set you up for success as an Embedded Software Test Engineer at Wayve, we’re looking for the following skills and experience.
Essential
Experience testing embedded software systems, ideally on Linux or QNX-based platforms
Strong programming skills in Python, C++, or similar languages for test development and automation
Experience working with embedded hardware platforms and understanding hardware/software interactions
Proven ability to debug and triage complex issues across system layers
Understanding of software testing principles, including automation, integration testing, and system validation
Desirable
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
This role is a full-time role based in Sunnyvale, CA (hybrid) and the reasonably estimated salary for this role ranges from $209,700 to $266,800, plus a competitive equity package. Actual compensation is based on the candidate's skills, qualifications, and experience.
At Wayve, we’re building a global driving intelligence that learns from data and scales across different vehicles and geographies.
Founded in 2017, we have pioneered an end-to-end AI approach to autonomous driving that is faster to deploy, more flexible by design and built to scale.
We deliver all levels of autonomy, from hands-off and eyes-off driving, to robotaxis. We license and integrate the Wayve AI Driver as a vehicle-agnostic software platform that runs entirely on onboard vehicle compute and native sensors.
Wayve is the first and only AV company to test a single global AI Driver model across more than 500 cities in Europe, North America and Japan.
We’re building autonomy for anyone, in any vehicle, anywhere.
