Bachelor’s Degree, Master’s or PhD in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Robotics, or related field.
Strong C++ skills
Experience in large-scale distributed systems
Experience in computer architecture and operating systems
Experience with advanced algorithms using C++ and Python
Experience in highly-concurrent, multi-processor, and multi-threaded environments
Experience in software performance tuning and optimization
Experience with profiling and tracing tools and infrastructure (perf, eBPF, Perfetto, pprof, NVIDIA Nsight Systems/Compute)
Experience with robotics software frameworks
Experience with robotics hardware components (including sensors, embedded platforms, etc)
Experience with different compute modalities (x86, ARM, GPU, FPGA, etc)
Strong problem-solving and programming skills.

Responsibilities

Provide a reliable and high-performance platform that allows autonomy teams to integrate their autonomy software and algorithms that work across various self-driving platforms.
Make sure new software and hardware work together safely and reliably, and resolve onboard error and performance problems.
Optimize the performance of Nuro’s AV software, ensuring vehicles can react quickly and safely to the world around them.
Build systems and tools for continuous performance analysis, and drive latency reduction and resource efficiency efforts.
Lay the foundation of Nuro’s onboard software for our sensor and compute platform, including device drivers, inter-device protocols and pipelines, and device runtime APIs.
Create the hardware-agnostic platform to be used by the perception and autonomy SW stack, and to realize the full potential of our sensor and compute HW in reliability, quality, and performance.
Work with internal stakeholders and external suppliers to define, evaluate, and integrate the next-generation HW platform for Nuro’s products.
Build the necessary tooling to assist continuous testing and validation.
