About Us
Nuro is at the forefront of autonomous technology, dedicated to making self-driving capabilities accessible to everyone. Established in 2016, we are developing the most scalable autonomous driver, integrating advanced AI with industry-standard automotive hardware. Our core technology, the Nuro Driver™, is licensed for various applications, including robotaxis, commercial fleets, and personal vehicles. With proven technology from years of autonomous deployments, Nuro provides automakers and mobility platforms a pathway to achieving commercial-scale autonomous vehicles, fostering a safer, more connected future.
Role Overview
As a Systems Engineering Technical Program Manager (TPM) at Nuro, you will play a crucial role in ensuring the robustness of our autonomous vehicle platform. Your focus will be on the challenging scenarios our systems must navigate, emphasizing the technical depth of our validation processes. This is not merely a scheduling position; you will work closely with the Autonomy, Simulation, and Systems Engineering teams to enhance the technical integrity of our validation program. This involves defining scenario sets, structuring fault injection strategies, and ensuring that our simulation coverage is meaningful and systematically advancing.
Key Responsibilities
- Scenario & Coverage Strategy
- Deeply analyze complex scene sets for autonomy validation, ensuring coverage addresses safety-critical, edge-case, and adversarial scenarios based on real-world data and system requirements.
- Develop the technical framework for assessing validation coverage: identifying what is covered, recognizing gaps, and determining engineering actions to address them.
- Collaborate with systems engineers to convert system-level requirements and failure modes into precise, testable scenario definitions.
- Large-Scale Simulation
- Lead the technical design of extensive simulation campaigns, including scenario selection, variation strategies, metrics definition, and result analysis.
- Coordinate with simulation and infrastructure teams to ensure campaign designs yield valuable insights: selecting optimal scenarios, achieving the right fidelity, and producing results that inform actionable engineering decisions.
- Identify and address instances where simulation results may be inconclusive or misleading, facilitating discussions to resolve these issues.
