Technical Lead Manager, Autonomy Evaluation and Intelligence
Job description
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.
Job responsibilities
- Intelligent Agents: Design and deploy "smart" evaluation agents that simulate complex interactions.
- Intelligent Metrics: Design and deploy advanced algorithms that measure the cognitive performance of the ML models powering our self-driving car’s behavior, utilizing physics-based modeling and machine learning.
- Close the Learning Loop: Leverage these evaluation frameworks to identify specific behavioral weaknesses in the NuroDriver, driving technical execution to refine the agent's decision-making logic.
- Define the Technical Architecture: Work cross-functionally with Autonomy and Infrastructure engineers to set a roadmap that unifies evaluation frameworks, moving us toward automated, data-driven validation.
Job requirements
- Education: BS/MS/Phd in Computer Science, Robotics, Statistics, Physics, Math, or a related quantitative field.
- Experience: 7+ years of industry expertise and a proven track record of driving team success through proactive mentorship and cross-functional initiative
- Technical Expertise: You possess strong domain expertise in AI/ML, robotics, and/or large scale evaluation systems. You have the skills to evaluate complex trade-offs and exercise exceptional technical judgment.
- Leadership: You can set an incredibly clear vision and earn the trust of a talented organization. You are capable of aligning the team behind a unified technical strategy.
- Execution & Urgency: You possess an inherent sense of urgency and champion fast, high-quality technical execution.
- People Management: Experience in hiring, organizing, and fostering a world-class engineering culture, with a passion for inspiring team members to grow their skills.
- Collaboration: Ability to work closely with cross functional teams to manage dependencies and ensure the Autonomy team has the compute and infrastructure needed to succeed.
