Nuro HQ - Mountain View, CA - Experience
- 5+ years of technical work experience in a relevant area, including 3+ years developing or validating autonomous vehicles or robotic systems.
About the job
Verifies that Nuro’s autonomous driving system can operate safely within its target operational design domain (ODD) and follow road rules, from defining requirements through testing and safety evidence.
What you'll do
- Define system requirements, verification metrics, acceptance criteria, and test strategies.
- Use simulation, real-world logs, closed-course testing, and other methods to verify requirements and measure ODD test coverage.
- Collaborate across teams to automate verification workflows and link test results to the Autonomy Safety Case.
What they ask for
- Experience creating behavior requirements for SAE L2, L3, or L4 autonomous systems, or other robotic systems, to operate safely within an ODD.
- Experience with simulation and real-world testing of autonomous systems.
- Strong understanding of autonomy architecture and how its modules interact.
- Hands-on software experience and ability to code in Python or C++.
Nice to have
- Background in autonomous vehicles, ideally with L4 deployment.
- Experience with computational driving-behavior models, ML-based behavior-evaluation metrics, safety standards, or safety cases.
