Senior/Staff Software Engineer (Behavior Verification)

Join Nuro, a leading autonomous delivery service, as a Senior/Staff Software Engineer specializing in behavior verification. In this role, you will implement metrics to evaluate the end-to-end behavior of the Nuro Driver, quantifying the safety of driving behavior in our target Operation Design Domain (ODD). You will collaborate closely with various teams across Nuro and leverage machine learning models and safety metrics to evaluate driving behavior. Additionally, you will set up automated verification workflows and generate detailed performance and validation reports.

Missions

• Implementing metrics to evaluate the end-to-end behavior of the Nuro Driver and quantifying the safety of the driving behavior.
• Developing and implementing generalizable metrics to verify the driving behavior of an autonomous vehicle, leveraging machine learning models and safety metrics.
• Collaborating closely with various teams to develop acceptance criteria for metrics and tests, and partnering with simulation infrastructure and test integration teams to set up automated verification workflows.
