About this role

Senior Software Engineer, Onboard Autonomy Mountain View, California (HQ) 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 We're looking for an Autonomy Engineer focused on onboard autonomy-the software that runs on the robot/vehicle/embedded computer and makes real-time decisions using onboard sensors and compute. You'll build and ship reliable autonomy features that operate under tight latency, compute, and safety constraints in the real world. What You'll Do - Develop, integrate, and deploy onboard autonomy behaviors (e.g., navigation, obstacle avoidance, lane/route following, docking, interaction behaviors). - Implement and maintain real-time decision-making components: behavior planning, state machines/behavior trees, local planning, and control interfaces. - Build robust sensor-driven autonomy pipelines on-device (camera, lidar, radar, IMU, wheel odometry, GNSS), including synchronization, calibration hooks, and fault handling. - Optimize autonomy performance for latency, CPU/GPU usage, memory, and power on embedded compute (e.g., NVIDIA Jetson, x86 edge boxes, custom ECUs). - Design and implement safety and fallback strategies: health monitoring, degraded modes, watchdogs, safe-stop, and redundancy-aware logic. - Own the autonomy stack's on-robot
