Wayve is building an AI platform for autonomous driving using end-to-end learning that enables vehicles to learn directly from real-world experience. The company is pioneering a mapless, hardware-agnostic approach that adapts and generalizes at scale.
You will join the Onboard Experience team as a Product Designer, owning digital in-vehicle experiences for Wayve's development and demonstration fleet. Your work will span tools used by trained vehicle operators during testing and validation, as well as guest-facing interfaces that help people understand and experience Wayve's enriched ADAS and automated-driving technology.
Your day-to-day responsibilities include:
- Conducting research, observation and usability testing with operators, guests and customers
- Translating user needs, complex technology and operational requirements into clear journeys, workflows and interactions
- Applying inclusive and accessible design principles across diverse needs, abilities and contexts
- Designing cohesive experiences across visual interfaces, sound, haptics and lighting
- Creating user flows, wireframes, prototypes and production-ready designs
- Defining interaction states, edge cases and feedback in sufficient detail for implementation
- Collaborating with Product, Engineering and Operations to balance user needs, product goals and technical constraints
- Reviewing implementation, resolving design issues and maintaining quality standards
- Contributing reusable interaction and visual patterns across Wayve's vehicle-related products
You'll own defined product features from discovery through delivery, combining user insight, interaction design and strong visual craft. You'll think beyond the screen, considering how visual interfaces, sound, haptics and lighting can work together to make complex technology clear and accessible.
Wayve operates a hybrid working model with main hubs in London, Sunnyvale, Yokohama, Herzliya, Vancouver and Leonberg. The company combines in-person collaboration in dedicated offices and workshops with focused remote work time.
REQUIREMENTS:
Must-have:
- Portfolio demonstrating strong interaction and visual/UI craft, with ability to make complex information and interactions clear
- Understanding of inclusive and accessible design principles
- Strong wireframing and prototyping skills with ability to choose appropriate fidelity levels
- Curiosity and sound judgment; comfort with ambiguity and constraints
- Clear communication and ability to explain design reasoning
- Experience owning product problems through discovery, design, validation and delivery
- Experience planning and conducting user research or usability testing
- Demonstrated collaboration with product managers and engineers throughout product development
Desirable (not required):
- Experience designing interfaces for complex, real-time or physical systems (automotive, mobility, gaming, robotics, industrial products, kiosks)
- Experience in constrained environments where hardware, safety, attention or context limit interaction design
- Experience designing operational tools, real-time interfaces or products for users with varying technical knowledge
- Familiarity with generative AI and coding tools for exploration and prototyping
- Experience with in-vehicle interfaces, Android Auto or market-specific guidance such as JAMA
The company encourages applications from candidates passionate about autonomy even if not meeting every requirement.
