- We embrace uncertainty and complex challenges to unlock groundbreaking solutions.
- We value diversity, embrace new perspectives, and foster an inclusive work environment.
Responsibilities
- Build and lead a self-sufficient AV development team in Japan, hiring and mentoring top talent across robotics and ML.
- Deliver autonomy capabilities tailored to Japanese road conditions and driving norms, in close collaboration with central Autonomy teams.
- Act as the primary technical and operational bridge between the Japan office and HQ, aligning roadmaps and communicating local insights.
- Drive full-cycle development: from identifying local autonomy needs, to designing, implementing, testing, and deploying features into production.
- Ensure the team upholds Wayve’s high engineering standards, while operating with agility and independence.
- Work closely with OEM partners in Japan — representing Wayve’s autonomy team in technical discussions, capturing product requirements, and shaping joint development plans.
- Establish close working relationships with our product and vehicle operations teams in Japan.
Requirements
- Strong background in robotics and autonomy, with experience building and deploying systems in real-world environments.
- Demonstrated ability to lead and grow high-performing engineering teams, ideally in geographically distributed or independent settings.

- Broad technical fluency across software engineering, machine learning, controls, and systems integration.
- Excellent communication skills for conveying technical context and strategic vision across cultures and time zones.
- Strong product sense and stakeholder management skills, comfortable interfacing with OEM customers and representing engineering externally.
Nice to have
- Prior experience in autonomous vehicles or robotic systems operating at scale.
- Familiarity with Japan’s road environment, driving behaviour, or AV regulatory landscape.
- Strong foundation in machine learning and its application to real-time decision-making or perception systems.
- Japanese language proficiency (not required, but useful).
Conditions
- Full-time role based in Tokyo, Japan with hybrid working policy combining office and home work.
- Core working hours with flexible daily schedule.
