Wayve is a British autonomous driving company founded in Cambridge in 2017 that trains end-to-end neural networks to drive rather than assembling hand-written rules around high-definition maps. Its AI Driver learns from camera video and can be deployed on standard vehicle sensor sets, which is what lets the company demonstrate driving in cities it has never mapped. Headquartered in London and backed by a one billion dollar SoftBank-led round plus investment from NVIDIA, Microsoft and Uber, it partners with carmakers to ship assisted driving software and is developing fully driverless deployments.

Questions

Can a foreigner apply for these roles?

54 of the 54 roles here state no citizenship or security-check demand. A role that does - defence drones and export-controlled autonomy work often do - says so in its advert, and the card marks it.

Which robotics companies hire most?

Turing (8), AI Robot Association (7), Astemo (7), TIER IV (3), Rapyuta Robotics (3).

Which employers count as robotics companies?

Companies whose main business is robots - industrial and warehouse automation, surgical and service robots, humanoids, drones and autonomous vehicles, and the makers of their sensors, actuators and robot software - and every role whose title names robotics work at any employer.

How fresh is this?

Every role is re-checked on the employer's own careers board at least every 48 hours, and the page is rebuilt every night.
