Senior Software Engineer, Simulation

Who We Are 

Nuro exists to better everyday life through robotics. Founded in 2016, Nuro is a leading autonomous technology company with vehicles on road today in California and Texas. The company’s core technology is the Nuro Driver, an integrated autonomous driving system consisting of state-of-the-art, AI-first software and custom-built sense and compute hardware. The first commercial application of the Nuro Driver is autonomous goods delivery with our custom, electric, zero-occupant vehicles in partnership with some of the most recognized brands in the world including Uber and FedEx.

About the Role
Simulation is at the core of autonomy development. The Synthetic Simulation team combines synthetic techniques with real-world data to build simulation systems and products that enable us to develop our autonomous driving technology with confidence. The team focuses on solving many novel simulation problems with innovative and creative solutions, all in a highly collaborative environment, partnering with teams across the stack and driving efforts to help accelerate progress toward delivering the most effective autonomy system.

About the Work

• Develop innovative solutions to improve simulation realism through synthesis.
• Apply synthetic techniques to build scalable solutions for expanding scenario coverage and unlocking new simulation capabilities.
• Work across a large array of potential efforts, ranging from new greenfield projects to expanding/scaling existing systems.
• Work closely with autonomy engineers and build an understanding of how autonomy works to formulate the best solutions.

About You

• You have 3+ years of experience working in software engineering or related fields.
• You are a talented software developer with experience in C++ and Python.
• You enjoy tackling challenges in new problem spaces, solving pivotal problems, and building real solutions that bring your ideas to life.
• You thrive in a highly collaborative environment, working effectively with engineers, PMs, and other stakeholders on project ideas, prioritization, and execution.
• You have a high standard of technical excellence and have experience maintaining and raising the technical bar for your team.
• You’re experienced with all stages of a project’s lifecycle. You can quickly take a project from zero to one or scale an existing one up to be relied upon in critical pipelines and workflows.
• You have start-up DNA: You have demonstrated an ability to thrive in the ambiguity of a dynamic, start-up environment or have the DNA to do so.
• You are passionate about bettering everyday life through robotics.
