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
A layer of principled robotics-based safety protections for the autonomy system
A process for solving every issue observed onroad, in a way that is fast and trustworthy
Own the core logic and software implementation for the robotics-based safety protections in the autonomy stack
Be the primary POC for solving real world autonomy issues, including root: cause analysis, design and implementation of principled solutions, and testing and deployment.
Lead and grow a technical team dedicated to this problem area.
Work cross-functionally with AI modeling teams, eval, systems, and operations.
What they're looking for
- Education: BS/MS/PhD in Robotics, Computer Science, EE/ME/AE, or a related quantitative field.
- Experience: 5+ years of industry experience building safety-critical motion: planning, decision making, trajectory optimization, or controls systems for real-world robots or autonomous vehicles.
- Deployment Track Record: Demonstrated experience taking robotics behavior from development into real-world operation, including diagnosing and fixing issues found in the field.
- Technical Depth: Strong C++; solid math (geometry, optimization, probability) and physics (kinematics, dynamics); fluency in optimization-based, sampling-based, and search-based planning, and in combining data-driven with model-based methods.
