Staff/senior Software Engineer, Onboard Infrastructure

Nuro Nuro · Robotics · CA · Fleet Infrastructure

Nuro is seeking a Staff/Senior Software Engineer to join their Onboard Infrastructure team, focusing on developing a reliable and high-performance platform for integrating autonomy software and algorithms. The role involves close collaboration with hardware and systems teams, optimizing AV software performance, and building the foundation for the onboard software, sensor, and compute platform. Experience with C++, distributed systems, computer architecture, performance tuning, profiling tools, and robotics software frameworks is required.

What you'd actually do

  1. Our onboard system team’s software engineers provide a reliable and high-performance platform that allows our autonomy teams to integrate their autonomy software and algorithms that work across various self-driving platforms.
  2. This work requires close collaboration with our software teams, hardware teams, and systems/safety team to make sure new software and hardware work together safely and reliably, and resolve onboard error and performance problems.
  3. Our Performance team optimizes the performance of Nuro’s AV software, ensuring our vehicles can react quickly and safely to the world around them.
  4. The team builds systems and tools for continuous performance analysis, and drives latency reduction and resource efficiency efforts to ensure the autonomy teams can implement an autonomy stack that is efficient and performant for current and future generations of the Nuro Driver.
  5. The Devices Platform team’s mandate is to lay the foundation of Nuro’s onboard software for our sensor and compute platform, including device drivers, inter-device protocols and pipelines, and device runtime APIs.
