## Description

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 Robotics Team

The Robotics team is responsible for bridging the gap from our model to our vehicle platforms, in order to let the model focus on making driving decisions. We aim to provide high quality data to the model for making such decisions, whilst abstracting away platform-specific aspects.



🧠 Your day-to-day

 - Define the technical architecture and roadmap for Wayve’s offline 3D reconstruction system.

 - Lead the development of MVPs that unblock high-priority internal use cases, while guiding the transition to a robust internal platform.

 - Establish the core technical interfaces, output representations, and tools needed to support internal customers.

 - Partner with calibration, sensor fusion, perception, data, infrastructure, and validation teams to align requirements, resources and ownership boundaries.

 - Set technical standards for reconstruction quality, failure analysis, uncertainty measurement, and dataset suitability and execute strategies to validate them

 - Mentor and provide technical leadership to engineers contributing to the 3D reconstruction effort.

 - Communicate technical tradeoffs, limitations, and progress clearly to engineering leaders and cross-functional stakeholders.
