## About the Role

Engineering Management, Embedded Systems, Automotive Management, Ecosystems, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Linux Operating System, QNX Operating System, Multiplatform/Cross-Platform, Leadership, Coaching, * You have experience managing and developing software engineers while owning delivery from planning through quality.

 * You have a strong embedded-systems engineering background and can remain hands-on in C++, C, or Rust.
 * You have led embedded platform, core-library, or similar foundational software work.
 * You have experience in automotive or another safety- and quality-conscious industry.
 * You understand disciplined development practices such as ASPICE, MISRA, ISO 26262, or comparable frameworks.
 * You communicate clearly and can align stakeholders across functions and locations.

Experience with Linux, QNX, build systems, AUTOSAR Adaptive, middleware/IPC, NVIDIA DRIVE, Qualcomm automotive platforms, or third-party platform delivery would be valuable.

Not ticking every box? That's totally okay! If you're passionate about autonomy and keen to learn, we encourage you to apply even if you don't meet every requirement.

## Description

Before the detail, heres the challenge youd 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

Wayve's Embedded Automotive Platforms team builds portable, production-grade core libraries and standardized APIs at the boundary between our autonomy stack and real vehicle platforms. Its work enables Wayve software to run reliably across automotive reference platforms and runtime environments, including NVIDIA DRIVE Orin on Linux/QNX and Qualcomm platforms.

As Engineering Manager, EAP, you'll lead and grow a US-based team responsible for foundational software used across real-world experiments and customer programmes. This is a hands-on management role: approximately 40% coding and design, and 60% leadership, coaching, and delivery through the team.

Your day-to-day

 * Lead, recruit, and grow an embedded-software team in the US.
 * Coach engineers, support career development, and set a high bar for engineering quality.
 * Own the team roadmap, turning milestones into clear objectives and delivery plans.
 * Align priorities with cross-functional stakeholders and maintain accountability for schedule and quality.
 * Stay hands-on through architecture, design, code review, and implementation of critical components.
 * Communicate progress, risks, and technical trade-offs across teams and time zones.

What you'll be working on:

 * Portable core libraries and SDK-style APIs for deploying Wayve autonomy software to vehicle compute.
 * Reference-platform adaptation across Linux, QNX, NVIDIA, Qualcomm, and other automotive environments.
 * Production-grade platform abstractions that reduce bespoke integration work.
 * Safety- and quality-conscious delivery, including FuSA-certified core libraries where applicable.
 * Technical and organisational foundations that allow the EAP team to scale.
 * Reliable software components used by internal teams, OEM programmes, and external partners.
