Nuro is looking to implement metrics that evaluate the end-to-end behavior of the Nuro Driver to quantify the safety of the driving behavior in their target ODD.
Requirements
- Hands-on software experience, with the ability to code proficiently in Python or C++.
- Strong understanding of robotic systems architecture - how sensing, localization, perception, prediction, behavior, and control modules interact.
- Familiarity with simulation and real-world testing of autonomous systems.
- Prior experience with the development or verification of behavior planning/prediction systems for robots.
- Prior experience building computational models for driving behavior or ML based metrics for behavior evaluation.
Responsibilities
- Develop and implement in Python generalizable metrics to verify the driving behavior of an autonomous vehicle.
- Leverage a combination of machine learning (ML) models and safety metrics from literature to evaluate the end-to-end driving behavior.
- Evaluate these metrics on a variety of tests: synthetic and log simulation, on-road logs, closed-course testing data, and third-party accident reconstructions.
- Collaborate closely with Systems, Behavior, Perception, Data Science, Product, Legal and Public Trust teams to develop acceptance criteria for metrics and tests.
- Partner with simulation infrastructure and test integration teams to set up automated verification workflows.
- Generate detailed performance and validation reports to prove that the behavior of the autonomous system is safe to deploy in our target Operation Design Domain (ODD).
Other
- 5+ years of technical work experience in a relevant area with 3+ years of experience with software development.
- Bachelor’s Degree or Master’s Degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Robotics, Physics, or related field.
- Highly collaborative in nature, with strong abilities to think and communicate analytically and effectively.
- Background in autonomous vehicles ideally with developing software for L4 autonomous.
- The reasonably expected base pay range is between $176,400 and $319,720.
