Nuro, Inc.
Less driving. More thriving. Nuro autonomous, zero-occupant vehicles are making more possible—today.Who We Are
Nuro exists to better everyday life through robotics. Founded in 2016, Nuro is a leading autonomous technology company with vehicles on road today in California and Texas. The company’s core technology is the Nuro Driver, an integrated autonomous driving system consisting of state-of-the-art, AI-first software and custom-built sense and compute hardware. The first commercial application of the Nuro Driver is autonomous goods delivery with our custom, electric, zero-occupant vehicles in partnership with some of the most recognized brands in the world including Uber and FedEx.
About the Role
The mandate of the learned behavior team is to use advanced machine learning techniques to accelerate software progress. In this role, you will work closely with the software vertical teams to understand their pain points and explore novel and advanced machine learning methods to solve practical real-world challenging problems. To name a few, using self-supervised learning to learn robust representations, exploring techniques for out-of-distribution detection to solve long tail problems, adjusting reinforcement learning techniques for motion planning, working on trajectory prediction and motion planning, investigating the robustness of models to mitigate uncertainties, or trying to build an end-to-end driving system. If you love solving challenging new problems with a mindset of deriving practical solutions to eventually be used on the vehicle, come join us!
About the Work
- Research new machine learning problems and models
- Work on goal-based, conditional, and joint trajectory prediction and motion planning
- Investigate the consistent decision-making process
- Touch the state-of-the-art language-inspired generative modeling
- Mitigate the uncertainties accommodated through the Autonomy stack
- Build effective and efficient ML data pipelines
- Collaborate with autonomy teams to understand their pain points and priorities to define milestones of the corresponding roadmaps
- Derive practical solutions and deploy them on the NuroBot
