About the role

Senior/Staff Systems Engineer responsible for verifying that the Nuro Driver is safe to deploy in the target ODD and compliant with traffic rules, with end-to-end ownership from requirements to test strategy and evidence for the Autonomy Safety Case.

Responsibilities

  • Create requirements for an autonomous system, ensuring safe operation within its ODD and compliance with the rules of the road.
  • Design generalizable metrics and acceptance criteria to verify that the autonomous system satisfies these requirements, leveraging safety standards and methodologies.
  • Propose and leverage diverse test strategies - synthetic and log simulation, on-road logs, closed-course testing, third-party accident reconstructions - to verify requirements.
  • Collaborate closely with Behavior, Perception, Data Science, Product, Legal, and Public Trust teams to develop acceptance criteria for metrics and tests.
  • Partner with simulation infrastructure and test integration teams to set up automated verification workflows.
  • Quantify coverage of the tests for our ODD, ensuring simulation realism and relevance for deployment. Link the results from the tests as evidence to support the Autonomy Safety Case.

Qualifications

  • 5+ years of technical work experience in a relevant area with 3+ years of experience with development or validation of autonomous vehicles/robotic systems.
  • Experience creating behavior requirements for SAE L2, L3, or L4 autonomous systems or other robotic systems to operate safely within its ODD.
  • Experience with simulation and real-world testing of autonomous systems.
  • Strong understanding of the autonomy architecture - how sensing, localization, perception, prediction, behavior, and control modules interact.
  • Hands-on software experience, with the ability to code in Python or C++.
  • Highly collaborative in nature, with strong abilities to think and communicate analytically and effectively.
