About this role

Senior Software Engineer, Performance Tooling and Infrastructure 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 Nuro leverages many different bench-top systems to evaluate and regression test different aspects of the software and hardware integration layer. This performance simulation platform includes systems At Nuro, every autonomy code change, from ML model updates to radius of map around the robot to number of evaluated trajectories, must be validated for real-time performance on actual robot compute hardware before it reaches the road. You will own the infrastructure that makes this possible. Our Performance Simulation Platform is a hybrid benchmarking system: physical bench-top rigs running production robot compute (NVIDIA Thor platform), orchestrated by cloud-native infrastructure (Kubernetes, GCP), automated data pipelines feeding performance metrics into BigQuery and Grafana, pre/post simulation magic, custom tracing and profiling tools, and much much more. Engineers across the company rely on this platform daily to answer questions like: - How will my new ML model affect contention on the GPU? -
