You have a basic understanding of graphics concepts (e.g. , rendering pipelines, shaders, coordinate systems)
Prior experience with visualization apps or game engines (OpenGL, Vulkan, Unity, Unreal)
You’re deeply technical: you enjoy working through thorny performance problems in low-level code, and working with advanced language features
You have strong communication skills, and collaborate effectively with colleagues from a wide range of disciplines and backgrounds

What the job involves

On the Autonomy Visualization team, your top priority will be developing high-quality visualization platforms
These platforms will allow any software engineer to add new viz elements
Additionally, you’ll also have the opportunity to work end-to-end on viz features and products, exercising both your technical skills, product sense, and cross-functional communication
As an Autonomy Visualization Software Engineer, you’ll build business-critical tools that accelerate the development of Nuro’s autonomous driving technology
Build performant visualization frameworks in both C++ / OpenGL and Unity to serve multiple critical functions like autonomy development and validation, triage tools, and in-car visualization
Be a partner to Autonomy engineers as they seek to improve their development workflow with better visualization
Collaborate with ML Labeling teams, as they seek to gather high-quality training data with bespoke labeling tools
Interface with product managers and designers to build polished visualizations for external applications that represent Nuro well

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.
