About the role
- 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.
- Sensors and compute hardware are the eyes, ears, and brains of our self-driving robots.
- We are creating the hardware-agnostic platform to be used by the perception and autonomy SW stack, and to realize the full potential of our sensor and compute HW in reliability, quality, and performance.
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.
- Design and develop sensor and compute systems for robotics
- Deliver reliable SW through metrics monitoring, automated testing, and vendor collaboration
- Drive cross-functional projects on sensors and compute for autonomous vehicles
- Collaborates effectively with engineers, PMs, and other stakeholders
