Who We Are 

Nuro exists to better everyday life through robotics. Founded in 2016, Nuro is a leading autonomous technology company with vehicles on road today in California and Texas. The company’s core technology is the Nuro Driver, an integrated autonomous driving system consisting of state-of-the-art, AI-first software and custom-built sense and compute hardware. The first commercial application of the Nuro Driver is autonomous goods delivery with our custom, electric, zero-occupant vehicles in partnership with some of the most recognized brands in the world including Uber and FedEx.

About the Role

Our robotics team is growing and we are looking for a Software Engineer to join our Mapping & Localization team. We're searching for an engineer with experience building and maintaining tools for autonomous navigation map generation and annotation, and a strong desire to contribute to the future of robot navigation for logistics and transportation.

 

About the Work
