About the role
- As a Senior/Staff Software Engineer, Fault Response Verification, you will work very closely with the Autonomy development, eval infrastructure, and data science teams.
- Your work is expected to have a short-term impact on our next deployments, as well as a long-term impact on autonomy feature roadmapping and Nuro's scaled fleet operations.
- Dive into the system-level implications of Nuro's autonomy architecture and software to understand the inter-dependency of failure modes with respect to the fault response.
Responsibilities
- 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.
- Drive fault-centric validation concepts from prototype to production to test.
- Work closely with autonomy developers to extract high-impact metrics and performance indicators that will test our robots' readiness to drive autonomously on public roads in the event of degraded states of software.
Requirements
- 5+ years of technical work experience in a relevant area with 3+ years of experience with software development.
- Hands-on software experience, with the ability to code proficiently in Python or C++.
- Bachelor's Degree or Master's Degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Robotics, Physics, or a related field.
- Strong understanding of robotic systems architecture-how sensing, localization, perception, prediction, behavior, and control modules interact.
Nice to have
- Background in the development or validation of software for L4 autonomous vehicles.
- Analyzing and managing FDIR (fault detection, isolation, recovery) for the software stack on semi-autonomous or autonomous vehicles or equipment.
Skills
- Your base pay will depend on several factors, including your experience, qualifications, education, location, and skills.
Compensation
- At Nuro, your base pay is one part of your total compensation package.
- For this position, the reasonably expected base pay range is between $176,400 and $319,720 for the level at which this job has been scoped.
- In the event that you are considered for a different level, a higher or lower pay range would apply.
Benefits
- This position is also eligible for an annual performance bonus, equity, and a competitive benefits package.
