About the job
Who We Are
Nuro is pioneering self-driving technology with the goal of making autonomy available to everyone. Established in 2016, Nuro is developing the world's most scalable autonomous driver, integrating advanced AI with automotive-grade hardware. Our core technology, the Nuro Driver™, is licensed for a variety of uses, ranging from robotaxis and commercial fleets to personal vehicles. With years of successful self-driving operations behind us, Nuro is paving the way for automakers and mobility platforms to implement autonomous vehicles at commercial scale, fostering a safer, more connected future.
About the Role
As a Senior/Staff Systems Engineer focusing on Autonomy Verification, your key responsibility will be to ensure the Nuro Driver's safety for deployment within our defined Operational Design Domain (ODD) and adherence to traffic regulations. This role requires a background in autonomous systems development or validation and a collaborative spirit to work effectively with diverse teams including Autonomy Software, Simulation, Product, and Operations. You will hold comprehensive ownership from defining requirements to designing metrics and developing test strategies.
About the Work
- Establish requirements for the autonomous system to guarantee safe operation within its ODD and compliance with traffic laws.
- Develop metrics and acceptance criteria to confirm that the autonomous system meets these requirements, leveraging established safety standards and methodologies.
- Utilize a variety of testing strategies - synthetic and log simulations, on-road logs, closed-course tests, and third-party accident reconstructions - to validate requirements.
- Work closely with teams in Behavior, Perception, Data Science, Product, Legal, and Public Trust to formulate acceptance criteria for metrics and tests.
- Collaborate with simulation infrastructure and test integration teams to establish automated verification workflows.
- Assess the coverage of tests for our ODD, ensuring realism and relevance in simulations for deployment. Connect test outcomes as evidence supporting the Autonomy Safety Case.
