Autonomous Driving System Safety LeadActive$213K–$320K

The opportunity

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…

What you'll do

  • Manage safety claims by understanding the ADS design, interfaces, and: technical capabilities of the system and by working closely with Autonomy Robotics and Software Infrastructure leads.

  • Generate atomic claims through claim decomposition, delegating to the: cross-functional teams where appropriate and managing quality where delegated.

  • Generate counter-arguments (challenges) to claims, and ensure that they are either addressed or mitigated.

  • Review and assess evidence from evaluation and validation as arguments for: safety case claims, and by working closely with V&V test teams.

  • Develop processes for and coordinate the tracking of safety performance: indicators, as available from various Systems Engineering and Software Evaluation teams, to monitor driverless (driver-out L4) deployment.

  • Escalate functional and technical risks, and missing work items such as test: gaps, ADS design risks, and AI architecture insufficiencies to senior leadership and propose mitigations.

What they're looking for

  • Support safety research, identify appropriate technical standards and best: practices that support the safety case, and apply them effectively.
  • While this role starts as an individual contributor, there is opportunity to: grow a team after the initially defined technical milestones.
  • + years of technical work experience in a relevant area, of which 3+ years should be in robotics software.
  • Bachelor’s Degree, Master’s Degree, or Doctoral Degree in Computer Science,: Math, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Robotics, Physics, or related field.
