Who We Are
Nuro believes self-driving vehicles are the most immediate and profound opportunity for AI to drive positive change in the physical world. Safer streets, more time for what matters, and easier access to the world around us—that’s why we’re building a universal autonomy platform: self-driving for all roads and all rides.
Founded in 2016, Nuro is a physical AI company developing Level 4 autonomous driving technology for a wide range of vehicles, use cases, and markets. Powered by the Nuro Driver™, our universal autonomy platform enables the global mobility ecosystem to deploy autonomy at scale—from robotaxis and logistics fleets to personal vehicles.
With years of real-world deployment experience and a flexible, partner-led business model, Nuro is working toward a future where millions of autonomous vehicles powered by our technology help make everyday life safer, easier, and more connected.
Nuro has raised over $2B in capital from Uber, NVIDIA, Google, Softbank, Fidelity, T. Rowe Price, and other leading investors.
About the Work
Drive the system-level safety architecture and requirements for the Autonomy Hardware and Firmware of the Nuro Driver, ensuring compliance with automotive safety standards such as ISO 26262 and ISO 21448.
Decompose vehicle-level Safety Goals into a cohesive Functional Safety Concept (FSC) and refine it into a detailed Technical Safety Concept (TSC), defining system-level safety mechanisms, fault detection and reaction strategies, and safe states.
Develop the system-level SOTIF specification for the Autonomy Hardware and Firmware of the Nuro Driver, defining performance targets and acceptance criteria for safety-critical systems like Autonomy Sensors and Compute.
Lead, perform, and review system-level safety analyses, including Hazard Analysis and Risk Assessment (HARA), Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA), and Fault Tree Analysis (FTA), Dependent Failure Analysis (DFA) to identify risks and derive safety requirements.
Work closely with controls, embedded SW, and HW teams and external partners to review and recommend changes to existing requirements and test plans.
Support the verification and validation efforts by reviewing and suggesting additional tests and implementing test cases on SIL/HIL environments.
Analyze and interpret test data from simulation, HIL/SIL, and on-road vehicle testing to validate the effectiveness of safety mechanisms and identify residual risks.
Support and maintain sections of the overall Safety Case pertaining to platform systems utilizing structures like GSN and focusing on residual risk assessment and clear argumentation.
About You
