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 are looking for a Senior/Staff Machine Learning Engineer to be a technical leader on Nuro’s Behavior & Planning team. Our team owns how the Nuro Driver behaves on the road: prediction, decision making, and planning, and is responsible for turning Nuro’s large-scale driving data into safe, comfortable, and natural driving behavior.
In this role you will bring strong, general machine learning expertise to some of the hardest problems in autonomy and drive them from research through to deployment on real vehicles. You’ll work at the frontier of applied ML spanning areas such as foundation and world models, LLM/VLM reasoning, reinforcement and imitation learning, generative and diffusion models, and transformer-based prediction and planning. You’ll apply this knowledge and experience to make our driving generalize as we s
