Job description

Who We Are 

Nuro is a self-driving technology company on a mission to make autonomy accessible to all. Founded in 2016, Nuro is building the world’s most scalable driver, combining cutting-edge AI with automotive-grade hardware. Nuro licenses its core technology, the Nuro Driver™, to support a wide range of applications, from robotaxis and commercial fleets to personally owned vehicles. With technology proven over years of self-driving deployments, Nuro gives the automakers and mobility platforms a clear path to AVs at commercial scale—empowering a safer, richer, and more connected future.

About the Role

In this role, you will work closely with the autonomy teams to solve nominal and long tail perception, prediction, and planning problems through novel and advanced machine learning methods, including foundation models, multi-modal LLMs, generative models, out-of-distribution detection, imitation learning, and reinforcement learning. If you love solving challenging problems and deploying those solutions into the real world, come join us!
