<h2><strong>Who We Are </strong></h2><p>Nuro is a self-driving technology company on a mission to make autonomy accessible to all. Founded in 2016, Nuro is building the world’s most scalable driver, combining cutting-edge AI with automotive-grade hardware. Nuro licenses its core technology, the Nuro Driver™, to support a wide range of applications, from robotaxis and commercial fleets to personally owned vehicles. With technology proven over years of self-driving deployments, Nuro gives the automakers and mobility platforms a clear path to AVs at commercial scale, empowering a safer, richer, and more connected future.</p><h2><strong>About the Role</strong></h2><p>The Devices Platform team’s mandate is to lay the foundation of Nuro’s onboard software for our sensor and compute platform, including device drivers, inter-device protocols and pipelines, and device runtime APIs. Sensors and compute hardware are the eyes, ears, and brains of our self-driving robots. We are creating the hardware-agnostic platform to be used by the perception and autonomy SW stack, and to realize the full potential of our sensor and compute HW in reliability, quality, and performance. The projects we work on are high impact and high visibility within Nuro. This team is also responsible for working with internal stakeholders and external suppliers to define, evaluate, integrate the next generation HW platform for Nuro’s products and to build the necessary tooling to assist continuous testing and validation.</p><h2><strong>About the Work</strong></h2><ul><li>Design and develop sensor and compute systems for robotics</li><li>Architect and/or deploy Nuro sensors &amp; autonomous SW with high reliability and performance</li><li>Deliver reliable SW through metrics monitoring, automated testing, and vendor collaboration</li><li>Debug complex systems, root-cause failure modes, and deploy effective solutions</li><li>Drive cross-functional projects on sensors and compute for autonomous vehicles</li></ul><h2><strong>About You</strong></h2><ul><li><strong>Domain experience:</strong> Experience in robotics or autonomous driving systems</li><li><strong>Technical excellence:</strong> Proven ability to deep dive into embedded and real-time systems; Proficiency in C++, with emphasis on concurrency; Familiarity with the role of the Linux kernel in driver performance.</li><li>2+ years of industry experience</li><li>Bachelor’s, master’s, or Ph.D in degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a closely related field</li><li>Clear and concise communication</li><li>Collaborates effectively with engineers, PMs, and other stakeholders.</li></ul><h2><strong>Bonus Points</strong></h2><ul><li>Experience in robotics hardware components, including sensors, embedded platforms (with multiple CPUs, GPUs, ISPs, and accelerators)</li><li>Experience with programming peripheral devices and device communication protocols such as USB, SPI, I2C, UART</li><li>Experience with radar, lidar, or visual cameras</li><li>Experience with GPU programming and low level driver optimization for Nvidia GPUs</li><li>Knowledge of Linux kernel and device driver level programming, including threading, IPC, shared memory, and synchronization</li><li>Knowledge of networking, full IP protocol stack, from PHY through TCP, UDP, and to application layer</li></ul><p>At Nuro, your base pay is one part of your total compensation package.

<p>We believe that great technology should benefit everyone. The team at Nuro is accelerating a future where robots make life easier and help us connect to the people and things we love. Together, we're pushing the boundaries of robotics to improve human life.</p>
<p>Dave Ferguson and Jiajun Zhu have devoted their careers to robotics and machine learning, most recently as Principal Engineers at Google's self-driving car project (now Waymo). They founded Nuro in 2016 to harness the power of robotics and artificial intelligence to solve new challenges at a global scale.</p>
<p>Our vehicle is a fully autonomous, on-road vehicle designed to transport goods quickly, safely, and affordably.</p>
<p>With no driver or passengers to worry about, our vehicle has been engineered from the ground up to keep what's outside even safer than what's inside.</p>
<p>Efficient, electric, and fully autonomous, it delivers life's needs at a price anyone can afford.</p>
