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, Fed Ex, Domino’s, Walmart, Kroger, and 7-Eleven.

About the Role

Our robotics team is growing and we are looking for a Software Engineer to join our Localization & Mapping team. You will be working on challenging problems in the design and implementation of the map system used on our current and future robots. We're searching for an engineer with experience building robust map systems that work with real data in uncertain environments, and a strong desire to contribute to the future of robot navigation for logistics and transportation.

About the Work:

• Research, develop, and implement state of the art mapping and/or state estimation algorithms.

• Analyze and characterize the accuracy and performance of mapping and/or state estimation algorithms while creating map solutions from various types of data sources.

• Build well-tested C++ software and deploy and test on our robotic platforms and in simulation.

• Work in a small, focused team to deliver high-quality mapping and localization solutions that power the next generation of mobile robots.

• Collaborate with stakeholders across autonomy, infrastructure, and systems teams on map needs and requirements.

About You

• 2+ years of industry experience as a software engineer.

• Strong C/C++ programming skills, developing well-tested, safety critical software.

• Hands-on experience developing mapping and/or localization algorithms for AV, drones, or similar applications.

• Deep understanding of state estimation, probabilistic filtering, 3D geometry.

• Experience working with multiple sensors (lidar, camera, etc.).

Bonus Points

• PHD and/or Masters Degree in computer science, electrical engineering, robotics, or related field.

• Experience with mapping data such as satellite imagery, lidar point clouds, standard definition (SD) maps.

• Proficiency in python.

• Experience with machine learning pipelines and/or machine learning for perception and/or mapping.
