Tech Lead Manager - Behaviour Learning for Embodied AI

The Science organisation at Wayve advances foundational research in embodied AI — building learning systems that can understand, act, and adapt in the real world through interaction. Within Science, the Behaviour Optimisation team focuses on one of the most intricate and impactful challenges in this space: learning robust, generalisable, and personalised behaviours for real-world agents. Our mission is to develop learning algorithms that enable our AI driver to act with intelligence and intent — grounded in perception, driven by experience, and adaptable to new contexts. We work at the intersection of reinforcement learning, generative modelling, behaviour cloning, and latent action inference, with a focus on sample efficiency, uncertainty awareness, and interpretability.
