Who We Are
Nuro believes self-driving vehicles are the most immediate and profound opportunity for AI to drive positive change in the physical world. Safer streets, more time for what matters, and easier access to the world around us, that’s why we’re building a universal autonomy platform: self-driving for all roads and all rides.
Founded in 2016, Nuro is a physical AI company developing Level 4 autonomous driving technology for a wide range of vehicles, use cases, and markets. Powered by the Nuro Driver™, our universal autonomy platform enables the global mobility ecosystem to deploy autonomy at scale, from robotaxis and logistics fleets to personal vehicles.
With years of real-world deployment experience and a flexible, partner-led business model, Nuro is working toward a future where millions of autonomous vehicles powered by our technology help make everyday life safer, easier, and more connected.
Nuro has raised over $2B in capital from Uber, NVIDIA, Google, Softbank, Fidelity, T. Rowe Price, and other leading investors.
About the Role
Safety and redundancy is one of the key requirements to Nuro Driver™. In this role, you will contribute to our Parallel Autonomy System and Collision Detection System to protect our passengers and other road participants from the unknown unknowns. Here, you’ll be challenged to provide utmost accuracy while working with exacting latency requirements, where millisecond counts.
About the Work
- This team tackles a wide range of problems: ML-based perception across all sensor modalities including audio, estimating object velocity and acceleration with high accuracy, onboard latency optimization, and developing tooling for large scale data curation.
- Partner with a tight-knit group of engineers who focus on collision avoidance.
- Participate in the design and implementation of a system that spans perception, planning, and control.
- Contribute to designing the validation methodology in order to validate a system that is required to perform at extremely high recall and precision on exceedingly rare events.
About You
- BS in relevant engineering fields, such as CS, EE, or applied mathematics.
- Strong coding skills in C++.
- Experience deploying software in robotics products.
- Willingness to sweat the details and strive for precision in your work.
- Additional preferred experience:
- Deploying ML models in edge environments.
- Developing state estimation algorithms for tracking applications.
- Optimizing architectures to explore the accuracy vs. compute tradeoff.
