Embedded Software Engineer

Nuro•Mountain View, CA

12d•$145,830 - $219,000

About The Position

Nuro is hiring Embedded Software Engineers to develop safety-critical embedded software for multicore automotive microcontrollers that connect the Nuro Driver™ to vehicles. The software supports vehicle functions including steering, braking, propulsion, other actuators, power distribution and monitoring, vehicle-motion monitoring, and safe-state responses to faults. The role spans the embedded stack from RTOS, drivers, scheduling, and bootloaders through middleware and vehicle-facing application components. Engineers will help extend the stack as hardware evolves and bring the Nuro Driver™ onto new vehicle platforms with OEM and supplier engineers.

Requirements

B.S. or higher in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a closely related field.
At least 2 years of industry experience developing embedded software in C, including work with a real-time operating system.
Solid computer science fundamentals, including data structures, concurrency, and algorithm design.
Working knowledge of microcontroller internals and peripherals, with depth in at least one of the following: device driver development; CAN or automotive Ethernet; bootloaders and software updates; embedded security; or vehicle-level integration and test.
Strong problem-solving and debugging skills.
Clear written and spoken communication and a track record of working effectively with engineers from other disciplines.
Comfort using debug probes, oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and CAN tools at the bench.

Nice To Haves

At least 3 years of embedded development in the automotive or autonomous vehicle industry, including a production launch.
Hands-on functional safety experience with ISO 26262, or safety-critical development in another regulated industry such as DO-178C or IEC 62304.
Experience with Infineon AURIX TC3xx, SafeRTOS or FreeRTOS, or AUTOSAR Classic base software such as MCAL and communication stacks.
Vehicle network integration experience, including DBC and ARXML, UDS diagnostics, E2E protection, or time synchronization.
Knowledge of vehicle functions, vehicle dynamics, or control theory.

Responsibilities

Design, implement, and test embedded C software for safety-critical multicore automotive microcontrollers across base software, middleware, and application components.
Integrate the Nuro Driver™ with new vehicle platforms by defining and implementing CAN and Ethernet interfaces with OEM ECUs, adapting actuator and body-control interfaces, and validating them on benches and in vehicles.
Participate in hands-on device and vehicle bring-up, prototyping, and debugging across multiple vehicle platforms, from first power-on through autonomous driving.
Build and maintain verification infrastructure, including unit tests, hardware-in-the-loop benches, and vehicle test procedures.
Work within an ISO 26262 development process by deriving software requirements from system safety requirements and implementing and verifying them with full traceability.
Collaborate with systems, safety, hardware, controls, and autonomy engineers, as well as OEM and supplier partners, from definition through verification.
