As the Engineering Manager of Collision Avoidance, you will lead a development team focused on preventing and mitigating safety-critical collision scenarios. This team develops models that tackle fundamental questions about how we can guarantee the high bar of safety for end-to-end systems, and enable configurability, interpretability, and validation at scale. These models play a significant role in enabling L2+, L3, and beyond, requiring innovation in both algorithms and validation strategies. We are looking for a system-oriented leader with cross-functional experience that is able to bring the worlds of machine learning, controls, and safety together. Key responsibilities: Help define and drive the Collision Avoidance roadmap, lead technical discussions and guide direction where needed. Build a resilient team which prioritises effectively, anticipates the needs of the business, and maintains a culture of impact. Understand Wayve’s end-to-end approach and how it maps to AV 1.0, drawing parallels in our development story and highlighting key advantages. This may include external engagements where necessary. Dive into data analytics, constructing evaluation suites, and get in-vehicle experiences from time to time to ground your understanding of the system. Drive cross-functional initiatives through effective communication, working through organisational boundaries when necessary to deliver on company goals and priorities. About you
