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

  • Lead system-level requirements definition, architecture design, integration: strategy, and validation in one of the platform areas — autonomy sensors, AV compute, motion control, pose/localization, or end-to-end latency.

  • Characterize and quantify system performance for that area: define nominal targets, minimum performance, and acceptance criteria across all ODDs, and defend those numbers with data rather than convention.

  • Recommend operating constraints for current and future ODDs on different: vehicle platforms — for example trajectory constraints for a given virtual driver, or sensor performance envelopes.

  • Define and quantify test coverage for your area, including the realism and: relevance of proposed tests across simulation, SIL/HIL, closed course, and on-road.

  • Partner with software teams to define interfaces, performance metrics,: failure modes, and validation strategies; validate platform modules against ground truth where applicable.

  • Collaborate with hardware and EE teams and external vendors on component: selection, characterization, and integration; review and recommend changes to supplier requirements and test plans.

What they're looking for

  • Support V&V by reviewing and suggesting additional tests and implementing test cases in SIL/HIL environments.
  • Analyze and interpret test data from simulation, HIL/SIL, and on-road testing: to confirm requirements are met, and perform root cause analysis for complex cross-functional issues found during integration and testing, driving them to resolution.
  • Deep understanding of how robotic systems work and ability to leverage this: knowledge to plan for verification and validation.
  • + years of experience in one of the platform areas: autonomy sensors, AV compute, motion control, pose/localization, or end-to-end latency.
