Responsibilities

As a Senior/Staff Systems Engineer working on Autonomy Verification, you are responsible for verifying that the behavior of the Nuro Driver is safe to deploy in our target ODD. This requires prior experience with the development or validation of autonomous systems, and a collaborative nature to work closely with a variety of teams across Nuro: Autonomy Software, Simulation, Product, and Operations. You will have end-to-end ownership from requirements definition, metric implementation, and test strategy development.

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/L4 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.

 Bonus Points 

• Background in autonomous vehicles ideally with L4 AV deployment.
• Prior experience building computational models for driving behavior or ML based metrics for behavior evaluation.
• Familiarity with safety standards and methodologies like STPA, ISO-21448, ISO 8800.
• Experience developing a safety case or compiling evidence supporting a safety case in a structured manner.
