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.\nFounded 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.\nWith 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.\nNuro has raised over $2B in capital from Uber, NVIDIA, Google, Softbank, Fidelity, T. Rowe Price, and other leading investors.\nAbout the Role\n\nWe’re looking for a Technical Program Manager (TPM) to drive cross-functional alignment and execution for AI Platform programs at Nuro. This role sits at the intersection of Systems Engineering, Platform, Data Science and Autonomy teams - focused on delivering scalable and reliable verification & validation (V&V) tools that enable systems readiness for driverless deployment.\nYou’ll own the end-to-end lifecycle of systems tooling initiatives: defining requirements, managing priorities, coordinating integration with simulation and autonomy stacks, and ensuring test and validation infrastructure meets the evolving needs of driverless programs.\nAbout the Work\n\nOwn the reliability metrics that gate driverless readiness and drive them to target.\nServe as the primary interface across AI Platform, Systems, Hardware, and Vehicle Ops, running the operating cadence that keeps reliability work aligned and moving.\nBuild and maintain detailed execution plans; track progress, risks, and metrics using internal tools (e.g., JIRA , Confluence, custom dashboards).\nDrive issue triage and burndown to resolution, ensuring clear ownership and accountability across teams.\nTranslate field failure patterns into engineering and tooling priorities for the platform.\nPartner with engineering to focus test and validation capacity on the highest-risk failure modes. Identify testing and validation gaps and improve development workflows.\nPartner with Ops to improve troubleshooting and intervention workflows, reducing time-to-recovery.\nMaintain execution plans and provide program updates, decision docs, and risk assessments to leadership.\nShorten the loop from field failure to validated fix on the fleet.\nAbout You\n\nBachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Robotics, or a related field.\n5+ years of experience in technical program management, systems engineering, or software development in robotics, automotive, or related technology domains.\nProven experience leading cross-functional programs involving multiple engineering disciplines (software, hardware, autonomy, or systems).\nStrong understanding of system verification and validation, testing frameworks.\nDemonstrated ability to manage complex dependencies, drive alignment, and communicate effectively across technical and leadership audiences.\nProficiency with agile program tools (e.g., Jira) and technical documentation platforms (e.g., Confluence).\nBonus Points \nExperience with autonomous systems, vehicle platforms, or robotics simulation environments.\nFamiliarity with data and tooling stacks supporting system V&V (e.g., test harnesses, synthetic data generation, regression testing, scenario replay tools).\nTechnical depth in Python, C++, or data tooling pipelines sufficient to engage engineers on design trade-offs.\nPrior experience in driverless readiness, safety case validation, or end-to-end system testing.\nExcellent organizational and interpersonal skills, able to balance fast-paced execution with structured process discipline.\nAt Nuro, your base pay is one part of your total compensation package. For this position, the reasonably expected base pay range is between $160,360 and $240,540 for the level at which this job has been scoped. Your base pay will depend on several factors, including your experience, qualifications, education, location, and skills. In the event that you are considered for a different level, a higher or lower pay range would apply. This position is also eligible for an annual performance bonus, equity, and a competitive benefits package.\nAt Nuro, we celebrate differences and are committed to a diverse workplace that fosters inclusion and psychological safety for all employees.
