Senior Software Engineer (Collision Avoidance)

• Safety and redundancy is one of the key requirements to Nuro Driver™
• In this role, you will contribute to our Parallel Autonomy System and Collision Detection System to protect our passengers and other road participants from the unknown unknowns
• Here, you’ll be challenged to provide utmost accuracy while working with exacting latency requirements, where millisecond counts
• This team tackles a wide range of problems: ML-based perception across all sensor modalities including audio, estimating object velocity and acceleration with high accuracy, onboard latency optimization, and developing tooling for large scale data curation
• Partner with a tight-knit group of engineers who focus on collision avoidance
• Participate in the design and implementation of a system that spans perception, planning, and control
• Contribute to designing the validation methodology in order to validate a system that is required to perform at extremely high recall and precision on exceedingly rare events
