Software Engineer, AI Platform - Intern

Who We Are

Nuro believes self-driving vehicles are the most immediate and profound opportunity for AI to drive positive change in the physical world. 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.

Founded 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.

With 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.

Nuro has raised over $2B in capital from Uber, NVIDIA, Google, Softbank, Fidelity, T. Rowe Price, and other leading investors.

About the Work

Depending on your skill set and areas of interest you will work on some or all of the following:

• Data Platform: The Data Platform serves as a comprehensive management system for Nuro AI Driver's data, labels, and metrics, facilitating seamless access functionality. The team focuses on data annotation across various domains, including 2D/3D perception, mapping, behavior trajectory, and language/text. It also handles data ingestion and mining, employing methods such as heuristics and embedding search. Additionally, the platform supports the autonomy evaluation infrastructure by providing detailed introspection.
• Onboard Systems: Our onboard system team's software engineers provide a reliable and high-performance platform that allows our autonomy teams to integrate their autonomy software and algorithms that work across various self-driving platforms. This work requires close collaboration with our software teams, hardware teams, and systems/safety team to make sure new software and hardware work together safely and reliably and resolve onboard error and performance problems.
• ML Infrastructure: The ML Infra team is the accelerator to our ML-first autonomy strategy. This team provides solutions to empower machine learning development in Nuro and optimize on-cloud training and onboard inference. Our solutions include a distributed training platform, ML compiler, model components libraries, e.t.c. The team provides opportunities for infra engineers to work fully embedded in ML teams to build cutting edge deep learning technologies.
• Simulation: The Simulation team builds the simulator that allows us to develop and test our autonomous driving technology in a virtual setting. We work on the core simulator and simulation frameworks, sensor simulation, scenario generation, and solutions that combine real-world data with synthetic techniques to push the boundaries of what can be simulated, collaborating closely with teams across Autonomy and AI Platform to allow us to simulate realistically and reliably at scale.
• Technical Infrastructure: this group owns few fundamental services for entire engineering organizations: generic compute platform to host mission-critical workflows such as data processing and simulation, storage management service which manages hundreds of PB of data, cloud infrastructure serves as IaaC which provisions and maintains all cloud resources, engineering productivity provides tools such as build and CI/CD to make engineering work more efficient.
