About the role
- The mandate of the prediction team is to use advanced machine learning techniques to improve the behavior of the Nuro Driver.
- These models are crucial for our autonomous system, as they will be deployed onboard as part of our planning stack and used offboard for realistic closed-loop simulation.
- You will explore novel machine learning methods to solve challenging real-world problems in autonomous driving.
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.
Requirements
- You have deep expertise and prior experience in some or many of the following areas:
- You have an M.Sc. or Ph.D. (preferable) focusing on one or more of the following areas: Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Mathematics, or a closely related field
- Technical Skills: You have strong problem solving and programming skills in Python (required) and C++ (beneficial) and ML frameworks such as PyTorch.
Nice to have
- Deep background in Embodied AI for robotics, Causal reasoning, Model interpretability and explainability, Joint prediction and planning, Understanding of Diffusion Models.
Skills
- Publications: Demonstrated research publications in top conferences (e.g. NeurIPS, ICLR, ICML, CVPR, RSS, CoRL, ICRA, IROS etc.)
Compensation
- At Nuro, your base pay is one part of your total compensation package.
Benefits
- Collaborate closely with the Planning team to design realistic and controllable agents for closed-loop simulation, enabling agent training via Reinforcement Learning (RL).
