Controls Engineer

Job summary

Responsibilities

In this role you will develop and improve the vehicle trajectory and motion controllers that translate the Wayve AI Driver outputs into safe, smooth and robust vehicle motion across different vehicle platforms and applications (both ADAS and AV).

• Develop, integrate, tune, and validate control, trajectory-generation, and action-processing algorithms across different vehicle platforms, operating modes, and challenging…
• Maintain and evolve our controls software architecture that connects AI Driver outputs to real-time vehicle actuation and feedback
• Implement and maintain production-quality, latency-sensitive control software in C++ for deployment to prototype, reference and production vehicles
• Use simulation, closed-loop evaluation and on-road testing to characterize controller behaviour, diagnose performance issues and validate improvements
• Work with teams across Wayve to define controller interfaces, integrate with adjacent systems and enable new vehicle platforms and product features

What they're looking for

• Strong fundamentals in control theory, with depth in one or more of optimization, model-predictive control, numerical methods or dynamical systems
• Practical experience developing, tuning and validating control or motion systems on real world physical systems
• Strong software engineering skills, with experience building reliable production-quality systems in C++
• Experience with latency-sensitive or real-time software
• Ability to reason about and debug system-level behaviour in complex robotic systems across software and hardware
