Senior Embedded Software Test Engineer, Onboard Test Automation

Before the detail, here's the challenge you'd help us solve.

We build the embodied intelligence that moves real vehicles safely, and the ecosystem a billion machines will run on in the future. Very few people in AI can say this. Every role here, whatever the team, plugs into that.

Here’s what this particular role covers.

🛠️ About our Engineering Teams

As a Senior Embedded Software Engineer on the Onboard Test Automation Team 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.

🧠 Your day-to-day

• 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 validati
