Staff Embedded Security Engineer
# Staff Embedded Security Engineer **Wayve** · Sunnyvale, California USA · `Remote` · `FullTime` 🕒 **Статус:** *Опубликовано: сегодня* · *Источник: Wayve* --- ### About the Role Before the detail, here's the challenge you'd 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 Vehicle Software Engineering teams build the onboard software and connected services that make our development fleet safe, secure, reliable, and ready for real-world autonomous-driving work. This role sits across Robot Software, Reliability Engineering, Fleet Tools, Onboard Test Automation and the wider Security organization, helping protect everything from boot and operating-system layers through vehicle applications, data offload, and vehicle-to-backend communications. As a Staff Embedded Security Engineer, you’ll be a hands-on security partner to embedded software teams. You’ll identify risks, guide penetration-testing work, design practical controls, and help engineers make secure architecture decisions throughout development. 🧠 Your day-to-day - Design and develop security controls in real-time embedded firmware and embedded Linux software. - Review code and system designs to identify vulnerabilities and guide remediation. - Contribute to technical requirements, architecture documents, interface definitions, implementation guides, and test plans. - Partner with Wayve’s Security team to assess and address risks across the vehicle fleet. - Build and maintain security tooling, libraries, controls, and instrumentation in Wayve codebases. - Act as a security point of contact for engineering teams and penetration-testing engagements. 🧩 What you’ll be working on - Securing boot, OS, application, and data-offload layers across Wayve’s development fleet. - Hardware-backed security, including HSMs, TrustZone, secure boot, signed updates, and key management. - Secure on-vehicle access and vehicle-to-backend communications. - Security architecture for internet-connected Linux-based embedded devices. - Threat modelling, vulnerability management, code auditing, and security policy implementation. - Robust controls that balance security, reliability, performance, and developer velocity. 🙌 You should apply if - You have a proven record of designing and delivering security systems for connected Linux-based embedded devices. - You have hands-on experience incorporating hardware-backed security into production systems. - You understand cryptography fundamentals and public-key infrastructure. - You have system-level development experience with kernels, bootloaders, or embedded operating systems. - You can work effectively in Python, C++, C, or Go and remain hands-on with code. - You can communicate clear technical recommendations to engineers, non-engineering partners, and leadership. Experience with Yocto, QNX or another RTOS, containers, secrets management, MISRA, vulnerability management, or security-community contributions 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. More about Wayve: 🚀 Wayve is building the leading AI platform for autonomous driving. We are pioneering an end to end AI approach that enables vehicles to learn directly from real world experience, developing the ability to adapt, generalise and improve at scale. Instead of relying on hand coded rules or pre mapped environments, our AI Driver learns to drive by understanding the world around it. The result is technology that navigates complex urban environments with intelligence, precision and natural flow, unlocking meaningful advances in both safety and efficiency. We believe autonomy represents a once in a generation transformation in how people and goods move, comparable to the shift from horses to cars, and from human driven vehicles to intelligent machines. Our ambition is to make autonomy universal. Wayve’s mapless and hardware agnostic AI platform integrates with global OEM partners, enabling continuous software evolution and unlocking advanced levels of automation from L2 plus through to L4 as our core AI model scales. In a race increasingly defined by intelligence and real world learning, Wayve is taking a distinct approach, building a generalisable driving intelligence that can power any vehicle, anywhere. By combining embodied AI with scalable deployment, we are creating technology that can be shaped to each OEM brand and driver experience, accelerating the transition to a safer, more intelligent future of mobility.
