Software Engineer, Autonomy - New grad

Who We Are 

Nuro exists to better everyday life through robotics. Founded in 2016, Nuro has spent eight years developing autonomous driving (AD) technology and commercializing AD applications. The Nuro Driver™ is our world-class autonomous driving system that combines AD hardware with our generalized AI-first self-driving software. Built to learn and improve through data, the Nuro Driver™ is one of the few driverless autonomous technologies on public roads today. 

Nuro has raised over $2B in capital from Fidelity, Bailie Gifford, T. Rowe Price, Google, and other leading investors. We’ve partnered with some of the world’s most respected brands including Uber, FedEx, Domino’s, Walmart, Kroger, and 7-Eleven.

About the Team
Our software organization is growing and we are looking for talented engineers to join our autonomy team. As an autonomy engineer, you will work on challenging problems alongside a world-class team with a common real passion for advancing robotics to improve the human experience.

About the Role
The Autonomy sub teams we have New Grad openings for are:

The Perception ML Data team bridges machine learning innovation and autonomy infrastructure to ensure our models learn from the most relevant, diverse, and high-quality data. Your work will directly impact how autonomous systems understand rare scenarios, adapt to global geographies, and scale safely. As part of this team, you will perform the following functions:

• Leverage VLMs to curate geographically diverse datasets matching real-world driving distributions
• Develop high fidelity synthetic data frameworks across sensor modalities
• Optimize ML-powered validation of data quality and model readiness

The Autonomy Evaluation team works closely with the Autonomy ML teams on one of the main challenges in autonomous driving: measuring and improving the quality of NuroDriver, the autonomous driving software. We develop evaluation systems that assess the safety, compliance, and service quality of NuroDriver to identify ways we can improve the performance of our ML and robotics systems. As part of this team, you will perform the following functions:

• Collaborate closely with the ML teams to develop targeted evaluation algorithms powered by classical robotics (e.g. 3D geometry or prediction algorithms), ML techniques (e.g. reward modeling), or statistical methods (e.g. hypothesis testing).
• Develop the data pipelines that enable large scale data simulation and transformations for high velocity and robust metric computation.

About You

• Recently graduated or soon-to-be-graduating BS/MS/PhD in Computer Science, Robotics, Statistics, Physics, Math or another quantitative area.
• Experience in C++ or Python from past internships or academic experience.
• Desire to develop impactful, applied solutions rather than perform purely theoretical ML experimentation research

At Nuro, your base pay is one part of your total compensation package. For this position, the reasonably expected pay range is between $125,400 and $188,100 for the level at which this job has been scoped. Your base pay will depend on several factors, including your experience, qualifications, education, location, and skills. In the event that you are considered for a different level, a higher or lower pay range would apply. This position is also eligible for an annual performance bonus, equity, and a competitive benefits package.

At Nuro, we celebrate differences and are committed to a diverse workplace that fosters inclusion and psychological safety for all employees. Nuro is proud to be an equal opportunity employer and expressly prohibits any form of workplace discrimination based on race, color, religion, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, national origin, age, genetic information, disability, veteran status, or any other legally protected characteristics. #LI-DNP
