Role
Who you are
- Computer vision, 3D geometry, or robotics related ML applications
- “Integration experience” - ability/background in working with robotics systems, practical real-world considerations in design/implementation
- Either good breadth of understanding (is able to perform all listed responsibilities) or good depth (is able to perform a subset with lots of depth)
Desirable
- Systems coding (C++ or equivalent)
- Experience with Transformer ML architectures
- Experience with topics in ML based mapping
- Robotics related topics (SLAM, nonlinear optimization, state estimation, probabilistic filtering, 3D/visual geometry)
What the job involves
- Our robotics team is growing and we are looking for a Software Engineer to join our Mapping & Localization team. We're searching for an engineer with experience building and maintaining tools for autonomous navigation map generation and annotation, and a strong desire to contribute to the future of robot navigation for logistics and transportation
- Design and implement computer vision & 3D geometry related ML pipelines used in various L&M systems
- Investigate state-of-the-art algorithms for long term experimental projects related to mapping and semantic understanding
- Work cross functionally with other ML teams to integrate algorithms into centralized architectures
- Scope out and assist in implementing labeling taxonomies and methodologies, as well as data mining
- Work closely with other autonomy engineers to integrate detection pipelines into the autonomy system and analyze resource usage
Our take
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.
