Role
Who you are
- You have deep expertise and prior experience in some or many of the following areas:
- 2+ years of relevant industry experience in addition to a Bachelor’s Degree, Master’s or PhD in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Robotics, or related field
- Must have strong programming skills in Python, C++ or Go
- You have experience in one or more of the following areas: large-scale distributed systems; data storage and processing systems; modern microservice architecture; machine learning, multithreading; x86 architecture; and software performance tuning and optimization, robotics software frameworks, different compute modalities (CPU, GPU, FPGA) etc
What the job involves
- Our software team is growing, and we are looking for talented engineers to join us and be instrumental to one of the following areas: Data Platform, Simulation, and Technical Infrastructure
- Data Platform: The Data Platform serves as a comprehensive management system for Nuro AI Driver's data, labels, and metrics, facilitating seamless access functionality
- The team focuses on data annotation across various domains, including 2D/3D perception, mapping, behavior trajectory, and language/text
- It also handles data ingestion and mining, employing methods such as heuristics and embedding search
- Additionally, the platform supports the autonomy evaluation infrastructure by providing detailed introspection
- Simulation: The Simulation team builds the simulator that allows us to develop and test our autonomous driving technology in a virtual setting
- We work on the core simulator and simulation frameworks, sensor simulation, scenario generation, and solutions that combine real-world data with synthetic techniques to push the boundaries of what can be simulated, collaborating closely with teams across Autonomy and AI Platform to allow us to simulate realistically and reliably at scale
- Technical Infrastructure: this group owns few fundamental services for entire engineering organizations: generic compute platform to host mission-critical workflows such as data processing and simulation, storage management service which manages hundreds of PB of data, cloud infrastructure serves as IaaC which provisions and maintains all cloud resources, engineering productivity provides tools such as build and CI/CD to make engineering work more efficient
Our take
Nuro offers custom-built autonomous vehicles for the delivery of physical goods, rather than people. Its vehicles have a distinctive, futuristic, design that has not only made the vehicles noticeable from a marketing point of view, but, has also made its vehicles stand out to other road users, improving safety.
Nuro is an exciting addition to the autonomous vehicle landscape. Without a passenger inside the vehicle, it has been able to sidestep some of the safety issues that have plagued other autonomous vehicle brands. Additionally, the company has landed several high-profile partners, including Uber, Walmart, Chipotle, and Kroger.
With home deliveries at an all-time high, many companies are looking for ways to get goods to customers’ homes as fast as possible. Low-cost, efficient services such as Nuro's offering are becoming increasingly attractive. Following Series E funding, the company is focusing on growing new commercial partnerships and scaling its technology.
