Robotics Engineer, Calibration

Who we are

We are creating an artificial intelligence capable of intricate driving using comprehensive deep learning; an AI that can scale across a variety of urban environments. Wayve is developing a complete driving software system, driven by data at every level and learning to drive. Our unique end-to-end machine learning method learns to navigate complex, unprecedented urban environments. We learn to drive using computer vision, by observing human driving and utilizing reinforcement learning.

The problem we tackle is one of the world's most difficult and impactful. That's why we're building a diverse, top-tier team motivated by the opportunity to work with brilliant people on challenging problems that will have a positive impact on society.

Where you will make a difference

• By contributing to performance and reliability, ensuring our and our partners' fleets are well-calibrated.
• By integrating an efficient calibration workflow into our commissioning processes for new platforms.
• By contributing to the roadmap for SLAM / odometry pipelines to support sensor calibration.
• By understanding tools and methods used across industries and academia, and managing projects from proof-of-concept to production when suitable.

Challenges you will undertake

• Optimizing calibration time after vehicle commissioning or hardware changes
• Improving robustness of software and tools used in calibration workflow
• Collaborating with vehicle technicians / workshop to train and delegate parts of vehicle calibration process
• Creating process / tools for calibration triage; quickly identifying and localizing problems

What we are looking for

• Practical experience with calibrating robotics sensors in real-world applications
• A strong systems engineer
• Experience working with large-scale deployments
• Experience with triage and debugging in robotics systems even without physical access

Essential

• Experience in building calibration solutions
• Computer vision approaches (classical / learnt) for sensor calibration (feature detection, feature matching)
• Strong software skills (Python and C++)

Desirable

• Experience building automated, and/or targetless camera calibration solutions
• Experience working closely with SLAM / VO for multimodal sensor calibration
• Experience in large data pipelines construction with PySpark or equivalent

What we offer you

• Competitive compensation with salary and equity

• An engaging environment with world-class researchers, engineers, and entrepreneurs

• A position to shape the future of autonomous driving and tackle the biggest challenges of our time

• Benefits such as an on-site chef, workplace nursery scheme, private health insurance, therapy, daily yoga, onsite bar, extensive social budgets, unlimited L&D requests, enhanced parental leave, and more!

• This is a full-time position based in our King’s Cross office. However, we support flexible working and if your role permits, you can work remotely for up to 2 weeks from anywhere in the world. We believe in trusting you to figure out what works best for your team and projects, while maintaining a strong presence for necessary in-person meetings and relationship building.

Wayve thrives on diverse perspectives which strengthens us as a team. We are proud to be an equal opportunity workplace and we encourage individuals from all walks of life to join our journey as we grow and expand. We don't just embrace diversity; we actively encourage it.
