The Manager of the Onboard Software Test team leads the design, build, and scaling of our automated test suites for our internal production fleet. Their team helps ensure the reliability, performance, and safety of the software that runs on our autonomous vehicle (AV) development platforms. The internal production fleet is critical to our data gathering efforts and model experimentation. The reliability of our software directly impacts the reliability of our fleet. You’ll collaborate with technical leads across Vehicle Software, Inference, AV Stack, and Reliability Engineering to embed automated testing into our development workflow and help define and execute on a roadmap that enables Wayve to scale safely and swiftly.
Job Responsibility:
Build and lead our internal test team
Team leadership and strategic planning
Mentorship and talent development
Partnering with Development leads to drive our testing strategy
Requirements:
A testing mindset
Experience leading a software quality or test automation team, preferably in embedded systems, robotics, or hardware-integrated software environments
Strong technical background in developing or maintaining scalable automated test frameworks
Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills across engineering and product domains
Nice to have:
Experience with automotive-grade or safety-adjacent systems (e.g., HIL, SIL, FMEA, hardware diagnostics)
Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, telemetry and observability stacks, or deployment systems for embedded software
Background in autonomous systems, AV validation, or hardware-in-the-loop testing infrastructure
Exposure to Python-based test orchestration, fuzz testing, or simulation tools
