Job description

The role
The security of our software is paramount to the safety of our vehicles. The onboard software for our various fleets of vehicles is critical to data gathering, model training, and demonstration of our self-driving technology. You will work with embedded software engineers to design, implement, review, and test the onboard software and connected services for our current and future platforms.
Key responsibilities:
  • Design and develop real-time embedded firmware and embedded Linux software to implement security controls for the system
  • Contribute to technical requirements, architecture, and interface design documents
  • Partner with the wider Wayve Security team to identify and address security issues related to our vehicle fleet
  • Partner with developers from throughout the organization to design and promote secure software architectures
  • Build, deploy, and maintain security tools, libraries, controls, and instrumentation in Wayve's codebases
  • Perform code and design reviews to identify and help remediate security flaws
About you
In order to set you up for success as an Embedded Security Engineer at Wayve, we're looking for the following skills and experience.
Essential
  • Proven record of designing and delivering software security systems for internet-connected embedded devices
  • Experience incorporating hardware-based security techniques (Hardware Security modules, TrustZone, Secure Boot, etc) into a robust hardware/software system design
  • Sound knowledge of Cryptography fundamentals and Public Key Infrastructure
  • Extensive experience creating, presenting, and refining clear, compelling technical specifications from top-level system architecture documents down to low-level implementation guides and test plans
  • System-level (kernel/bootloader) software development experience
  • Significant experience with at least Python, C++, C, or Go.
  • Exceptional ability to communicate and collaborate with developers, non-engineering stakeholders, and leadership

Desirable
  • Experience with QNX or similar realtime operating systems
  • Experience designing, developing, and maintaining professional software
  • Experience with Azure, GCP, containers, secrets management systems, cryptography, popular threat modeling systems, and other contemporary security topics
  • Contributions to the security community (open source, published research, presentations, blog posts, etc.)
  • Bachelor's degree or above in CS, Engineering, Math, Physics, or similar

This role is a full-time role based in Sunnyvale, CA (hybrid) and the reasonably estimated salary for this role ranges from $295,500 to $375,100, plus a competitive equity package. Actual compensation is based on the candidate's skills, qualifications, and experience.
