About The Position

At Wayve, we are building a new team from the ground up focused on developing the first generation of verification and validation infrastructure (hardware and software), including automated Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) with emulation of sensors, and vehicle systems. As a HIL Platform Scalability Engineer, you will ensure that our HIL systems scale reliably across different benches, programs, and geographic locations. You will lead the development of monitoring, alerting, and access control and automation infrastructure that enables system uptime, test execution efficiency, and reliable operation of a global HIL fleet. We are looking for engineers who thrive at the intersection of test systems, infrastructure, automation, and operation. In this role, you will be critical to scaling and maintaining a fleet of HIL systems that support system-level integration and validation at different locations, while enabling engineer teams to move faster and with confidence.

Requirements

Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineer, Systems Engineering or a related field
2+ years of experience working with test infrastructure, e.g., HIL, or hardware/software test environments
Proficiency with observability/monitoring tools, e.g., Datadog, Grafana, Prometheus, etc
Strong scripting and automation experience using Python, Bash, or similar scripting languages
Proficiency with Linux or Unix based operating systems, command line tool
Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, test scheduling systems, and orchestration tools
Excellent problem solving skills and operational thinking
Strong written and verbal communication skills

Nice To Haves

Experience in platform operations, site reliability engineering(SRE), or scaling test infrastructure
Hands-on experience with configuration management tools, such as Ansible, Chef, Terraform
Familiarity with containerization orchestration engines(e.g., Kubernetes) and proven understanding of continuous development techniques and pipelines (CI/CD, Git)
Experience working with autonomous systems including robotics and/or autonomous vehicles
Familiarity with automotive software development requirements and standards, such as ASPICE ,ISO 26262 and ISO 21448 (SOTIF) , with automotive HIL SW and HW products e.g. from Vector and dSPACE and with automotive SW architecture such as AUTOSAR
