Job Description

Who We Are

Nuro is a self-driving technology company on a mission to make autonomy accessible to all. Founded in 2016, Nuro is building the world's most scalable driver, combining cutting-edge AI with automotive-grade hardware. Nuro licenses its core technology, the Nuro Driver™, to support a wide range of applications, from robotaxis and commercial fleets to personally owned vehicles. With technology proven over years of self-driving deployments, Nuro gives the automakers and mobility platforms a clear path to AVs at commercial scale, empowering a safer, richer, and more connected future.

About the Role

Simulation is at the core of autonomy development. The Simulation team is responsible for building the simulator that powers all simulations at Nuro, allowing us to develop and test our autonomous driving technology with confidence. The team focuses on solving many novel simulation problems with innovative and creative solutions - from synthesizing sensor data and automated scenario generation, to performance and resource optimization, to framework and interface design - collaborating with teams across the company to set and expand the range of what's possible to simulate.

About the Work

• Expand the functionality, performance, and usability of our simulator.
• Develop innovative solutions to improve simulation realism and coverage through synthesis.
• Design and build solutions to unify and simplify the interactions of complex systems.
• Work across a large array of potential efforts, ranging from new greenfield projects to expanding/scaling existing systems.
• Collaborate closely with autonomy engineers and build an understanding of how autonomy works to formulate the best solutions.

About You

• You have 3+ years of experience working in software engineering or related fields.
• You are a talented software developer with experience in C++ and Python.
• You enjoy tackling challenges in new problem spaces, solving pivotal problems, and building real solutions that bring your ideas to life.
• You thrive in a highly collaborative environment, working effectively with engineers, PMs, and other stakeholders on project ideas, prioritization, and execution.
• You have a high standard of technical excellence and have experience maintaining and raising the technical bar for your team.
• You're experienced with all stages of a project's lifecycle. You can quickly take a project from zero to one or scale an existing one up to be relied upon in critical pipelines and workflows.
• You have start-up DNA: You have demonstrated an ability to thrive in the ambiguity of a dynamic, start-up environment or have the DNA to do so.
• You are passionate about bettering everyday life through robotics.

Bonus Points

• Previous experience in simulation for autonomous vehicles or other areas of autonomous vehicle development.
