Who We Are
Nuro believes self-driving vehicles are the most immediate and profound opportunity for AI to drive positive change in the physical world. Safer streets, more time for what matters, and easier access to the world around us, that’s why we’re building a universal autonomy platform: self-driving for all roads and all rides.
Founded in 2016, Nuro is a physical AI company developing Level 4 autonomous driving technology for a wide range of vehicles, use cases, and markets. Powered by the Nuro Driver™, our universal autonomy platform enables the global mobility ecosystem to deploy autonomy at scale, from robotaxis and logistics fleets to personal vehicles.
With years of real-world deployment experience and a flexible, partner-led business model, Nuro is working toward a future where millions of autonomous vehicles powered by our technology help make everyday life safer, easier, and more connected.
Nuro has raised over $2B in capital from Uber, NVIDIA, Google, Softbank, Fidelity, T. Rowe Price, and other leading investors.
About the Role
We’re looking for an Autonomy Engineer focused on onboard autonomy—the software that runs on the robot/vehicle/embedded computer and makes real-time decisions using onboard sensors and compute. You’ll build and ship reliable autonomy features that operate under tight latency, compute, and safety constraints in the real world.
What You’ll Do
• Develop, integrate, and deploy onboard autonomy behaviors (e.g., navigation, obstacle avoidance, lane/route following, docking, interaction behaviors).
• Implement and maintain real-time decision-making components: behavior planning, state machines/behavior trees, local planning, and control interfaces.
• Build robust sensor-driven autonomy pipelines on-device (camera, lidar, radar, IMU, wheel odometry, GNSS), including synchronization, calibration hooks,
