About the role
- Nuro's autonomous vehicle platform has to work - not just in the easy cases, but in the hard ones.
- This is not a planning or scheduling role.
- The program infrastructure is owned elsewhere
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.
- The ones we design for, simulate at scale, and deliberately break to understand.
- Partner with systems engineers to translate system-level requirements and failure modes into concrete, testable scenario definitions.
- Drive the technical design of large-scale simulation campaigns - scenario selection, variation strategies, metrics definition, and results interpretation.
- Work with simulation and infrastructure teams to ensure campaign design maximizes signal: the right scenarios, run at the right fidelity, with results that feed actionable engineering decisions.
- Identify when simulation results are inconclusive or misleading and drive the engineering conversation to resolve it.
- Background in ODD (Operational Design Domain) analysis, scenario taxonomy development, or safety case construction.
Requirements
- 4-6 years in a Technical Program Manager role, preferably in the autonomous vehicles, robotics, aerospace or adjacent industries.
- Experience with simulation platforms such as CARLA, LGSVL, or proprietary AV sim environments.
Compensation
- At Nuro, your base pay is one part of your total compensation package.
Benefits
- Scenario & Coverage Strategy
- Be the person in the room who understands both the autonomy stack and the validation methodology well enough to push back, ask the hard questions, and spot coverage gaps others miss.
- Communicate complex validation logic and coverage gaps clearly to engineering leads and senior stakeholders.
- Apply systems engineering principles to structure validation logic: interface dependencies, assumption documentation, and V&V coverage mapping.
