Senior/Staff Software Engineer, Fault Response Verification

As a Senior/Staff Software Engineer, Fault Response Verification, you will work very closely with the Autonomy development, eval infrastructure, and data science teams. You will partner closely with our Autonomy software engineering team to define system-level behavior requirements when a fault is present, implement metrics to assess requirement violations, build novel validation tooling and pipelines to achieve integration into our Safety Case and risk assessment frameworks, and contribute to risk quantification. As a key part of Nuro's systems approach, you will contribute to maintaining Autonomy’s fault-centric architecture and stress test the autonomy software stack from the system level down to modules through deterministic and probabilistic software-driven techniques towards a fail-operational system. Your work is expected to have a short-term impact on our next deployments, as well as a long-term impact on autonomy feature roadmapping and Nuro’s scaled fleet operations.

• 5+ years of technical work experience in a relevant area with 3+ years of experience with software development. • Hands-on software experience, with the ability to code proficiently in Python or C++. • Bachelor’s Degree or Master’s Degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Robotics, Physics, or a related field. • Strong understanding of robotic systems architecture—how sensing, localization, perception, prediction, behavior, and control modules interact. • Familiarity with simulation and real-world testing of autonomous systems. • Highly collaborative in nature, with strong abilities to think and communicate analytically and effectively. • Bonus Points: Background in the development or validation of software for L4 autonomous vehicles. Analyzing and managing FDIR (fault detection, isolation, recovery) for the software stack on semi-autonomous or autonomous vehicles or equipment.
