Senior Software Engineer, Onboard Health

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 Team

We are looking for engineers to make our bots come to life. Our onboard system team’s software engineers provide a reliable and high-performance platform that allows our autonomy teams to integrate their autonomy software and algorithms that work across various self-driving platforms. This work requires close collaboration with our software teams, hardware teams, and systems/safety team to make sure new software and hardware work together safely and reliably, and resolve onboard error and performance problems.

About the Work

• Collaborate with experts in the field of autonomous vehicles to enhance system reliability, efficiency, and safety
• Design, develop, test, debug, and deploy software modules for self-driving systems, as well as related platform and software toolings
• Create and implement a software framework for end-to-end automation of system validation
• Develop fault-injection and reporting tools for safety validation
• Work closely with autonomy teams (e.g., perception, behavior, controls) to identify root causes and mitigate onboard issues across the entire system
• Spearhead cross-team efforts to identify potential sources of software defects in safety-critical software
• Develop and apply methods to evaluate objective properties of large codebases, such as complexity, dependency, cohesion, and coupling, and help determine their relevance to potential defects

About You

• Strong system fundamentals and proficiency in C++
• Extensive experience (5+ years) developing production-quality software in C/C++ and Python for complex systems in areas such as self-driving, robotics, embedded Linux systems, telecommunications, or other technology industries
• Bachelor's, Master's, or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical field
