Product Feature Owner, Parking

In this pivotal role as a Product Feature Owner, you will take end-to-end responsibility for specific Parking functionalities, such as Park Distance Control, Rear-AEB, Auto-Park Assist, Remote Park Assist, Memory Parking. Your focus will be to ensure these features meet customer (OEM) requirements, align with internal capabilities and roadmaps, and are delivered to spec. You will collaborate closely with OEMs, product teams, and engineering teams to define feature scope, set performance targets, and ensure compliance with industry standards. Your dedication to aligning customer needs with our strategic vision will directly enhance our vehicles’ capabilities and user experience.

Key responsibilities:

• Feature Oversight and Delivery : Take full accountability for specific Parking features, ensuring on-time delivery and alignment with agreed-upon specifications. Monitor the feature’s lifecycle from concept to production, addressing any deviations promptly.
• Technical Collaboration and Hands-on Engagement : Collaborate with feature group owners and engineering teams to create feature specifications. Engage actively with the teams throughout feature development, providing early feedback, participating in testing, and supporting validation processes.
• Sensor and Compute Architecture : Partner with systems, hardware, perception, platform, safety, and supplier teams to shape the parking sensor and compute architecture. Drive integration and issue resolution across the parking sensor stack—including ultrasonic sensors (USS) and surround-view cameras (SVCs)—and translate platform constraints into clear feature scope, performance targets, and delivery trade-offs.
• Customer Advocacy and Alignment : Deeply understand OEM customer needs and requirements, representing their interests internally without compromising Wayve’s objectives. Harmonise OEM requests across different customers to maximise the development of reusable assets and ensure scalability.
• Cross-functional Communication and Coordination : Serve as the central liaison between OEMs, product teams, and engineering teams for your feature(s). Facilitate streamlined communication and reduce misunderstandings. Participate in agile processes and rituals.
• Risk Mitigation and Strategic Alignment : Proactively identify and address potential issues before they escalate. Maintain and evolve the strategic feature roadmap as our technology progresses towards higher autonomy levels, ensuring alignment with both customer expectations and Wayve’s strategic objectives.
