Who We Are 

Nuro exists to better everyday life through robotics. Founded in 2016, Nuro is a leading autonomous technology company with vehicles on road today in California and Texas. The company’s core technology is the Nuro Driver, an integrated autonomous driving system consisting of state-of-the-art, AI-first software and custom-built sense and compute hardware. The first commercial application of the Nuro Driver is autonomous goods delivery with our custom, electric, zero-occupant vehicles in partnership with some of the most recognized brands in the world including Uber and FedEx.

About the Role

Our NuroDriver will need to encounter innumerable scenarios successfully to realize the benefits of robotics in everyday life. The mandate of Autonomy Eval is to build a comprehensive, interpretable, and reliable set of simulation-driven test-suites. These test suites provide actionable insights to inform development across all components of our ML-first stack: perception, prediction, planning, and controls.

About the Work

• Develop user interfaces, user workflows, and data visualizations used by Machine Learning and Robotics engineers for day-to-day development.
• Design metrics to evaluate the performance of the Machine Learning and Robotics algorithms that enable on-road deployment of our autonomous driving software.
• Implement automated large-scale data pipelines to continuously measure system performance and data coverage against safety validation requirements.
• Establish the observability mechanisms and processes needed to proactively identify and resolve reliability issues that can affect the software robustness of our evaluation systems. 
• Work cross-functionally with Machine Learning and Infrastructure engineers to guide future development on both the Machine Learning and Infrastructure front.

About You

• Bachelors/Masters with 3+ years of industry experience.
• Coding proficiency in Python exhibited by industry-level experience.
• Strong algorithmic problem-solving for system runtime and memory optimization.
• Experience with developing or optimizing data-intensive infrastructure.
• Experience with at least one of the following:
• Strong desire to evaluate the performance and validate the safety of a machine learning system. 
• Strong communication and collaboration skills. The ability to work cross-functionally is a requirement.

Bonus Points (Optional)

• Coding proficiency in C++ exhibited by industry-level experience. 
• Knowledge of machine learning, robotics, geometry, or statistics.
