What the job involves

  • Our team is growing and we are looking for machine learning R&D experts to join us
  • We apply machine learning to solve challenging perception problems, e.g. object detection, semantic segmentation, instance segmentation, dense depth, optical flow, tracking
  • In this role, you will work on developing novel machine learning models, robust and scalable data pipelines, and deploy the models on our self driving vehicles
  • You will develop novel machine learning methods and algorithms that solve complex problems, including but not limited to, object detection, semantic segmentation, instance segmentation, depth estimation, optical flow, etc
  • Develop scalable and robust data pipelines that are able to process petabytes of data for model training, and deploy models in production
  • Work fast and smart, and collaborate well with other awesome team members to deliver high-quality perception solutions that power the next generation of mobile robots

Otta's take

Xav Kearney headshot

Xav Kearney

CTO of Otta

Nuro offers custom-built autonomous vehicles for the delivery of physical goods, rather than people. Its vehicles have a distinctive, futuristic, design that has not only made the vehicles noticeable from a marketing point of view, but, has also made its vehicles stand out to other road users, improving safety.

Nuro is an exciting addition to the autonomous vehicle landscape. Without a passenger inside the vehicle, it has been able to sidestep some of the safety issues that have plagued other autonomous vehicle brands. Additionally, the company has landed several high-profile partners, including Uber, Walmart, Chipotle, and Kroger.

With home deliveries at an all-time high, many companies are looking for ways to get goods to customers’ homes as fast as possible. Low-cost, efficient services such as Nuro's offering are becoming increasingly attractive. The company is turning its focus to commercializing and scaling the production of its third-generation vehicle at a new facility in Southern Nevada as it hopes to expand its services across the US.
