Senior Software Engineer, Nuro

• 4+ years of software engineering experience with Python coding proficiency
• Strong algorithmic ability and evidence of independent problem-solving
• Proven ability to lead technical projects from design to completion
• Strong communication skills so that you can effectively drive cross-functional collaboration
• A mindset of pushing through roadblocks and working as hard as it takes to get things done
• Willing to work out of our Bay Area offices 4 times a week, with at least one of those days being in Mountain View

Desirable

• The Autonomy Evaluation team works closely with the Autonomy Machine Learning (ML) teams to build a comprehensive and interpretable set of simulation-driven test suites for Autonomy algorithms
• These test suites inform development for all components of our ML-first stack: perception, prediction, and planning
• This role can have any of the following forms (or the combination of any subset):
• High-output Generalist working across infrastructure, frontend, and metrics development. Such a role would develop Robotics/Statistics and/or Data Pipeline domain knowledge over time to eventually also perform the functions below
• Robotics or Statistics Expert working closely with the ML teams to develop targeted evaluation algorithms powered by classical robotics (e.g. 3D geometry or prediction algorithms), ML techniques (e.g. reward modeling), or statistical methods (e.g. hypothesis testing)
• Data Pipeline Expert working on the data pipelines that enable large scale data transformations for high velocity and robust simulation and metric computation
• Implement simulation-powered data pipelines to continuously measure autonomy performance and data coverage against safety validation requirements
• Use classical robotics or ML algorithms to evaluate the performance of different components of the onboard Autonomy system
• Develop user interfaces, user workflows, and data visualizations used by Machine Learning and Robotics engineers for day-day development
• Work cross-functionally with Autonomy and Infrastructure engineers to set the technical roadmap that will continuously improve and unify the evaluation frameworks owned by our team
