About the role

Wayve is seeking a senior Machine Learning Engineer for the Simulation team in Sunnyvale or London. You will build next‑generation generative world models and planners to simulate diverse driving environments, enabling faster training and broader testing. Expect to optimize latency, push the boundaries of diffusion/latent video tech, and mentor researchers while collaborating across ML, sim, and deployment teams. This role blends research excellence with production impact.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
