Who We Are

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.

Founded in 2016, Nuro is a physical AI company developing Level 4 autonomous driving technology for a wide range of vehicles, use cases, and markets. Powered by the Nuro Driver™, our universal autonomy platform enables the global mobility ecosystem to deploy autonomy at scale, from robotaxis and logistics fleets to personal vehicles.

With years of real-world deployment experience and a flexible, partner-led business model, Nuro is working toward a future where millions of autonomous vehicles powered by our technology help make everyday life safer, easier, and more connected.

Nuro has raised over $2B in capital from Uber, NVIDIA, Google, Softbank, Fidelity, T. Rowe Price, and other leading investors.

About the Team

The Systems Engineering team is responsible for the requirements, architecture, and validation of autonomous driving capabilities across engineering disciplines. This includes designing performance metrics, evaluation methods, and criteria for success, which the team then drives cross-functional via requirement definition and system validation. Systems Engineering works at the intersection of hardware, software, and robot operations, with a deep understanding of technologies in all three. We are a small, high-impact team that sets the checkpoints for autonomy deployment.

About the Role

Our Systems Engineering team is growing, and we are looking for talented engineers graduating before or by June 2027 to help us bring safe, driverless vehicles to public roads. You will work at the intersection of hardware, software, and operations, and see your work directly shape what ships on the vehicle.

About the Work

Depending on your skill set and areas of interest, you will work on some or all of the following:

Requirements and verification

Data analysis and safety

Cross-functional partnership and tooling

About You

You are currently pursuing a B.S., M.S., or PhD in Systems Engineering, Engineering, Robotics, Computer Science, or a related field, graduating before or in June 2027.

You have strong Python or C++ skills, and are comfortable using AI tools to accelerate your analysis and development work.

You have a safety mindset and strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills. You can back up your reasoning with evidence and explain your decisions clearly.

Experience in adjacent industries, such as robotics, is also welcome.
