Test Validation Engineer
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
- Build and evolve our automated hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) validation framework used for ADAS/autonomous driving ECU and system testing.
- Translate formal validation requirements into repeatable automated test cases covering nominal operation, fault handling, timing, communication integrity, and safety-related behavior.
- Execute and debug validation on HIL benches using vehicle network interfaces, embedded target access, fault injection, and system emulation.
- Partner with firmware, systems, and validation teams to define test coverage, investigate failures, and improve release readiness.
- Support automated regression and release testing, including pre-test firmware deployment, orchestrated test execution, and structured result reporting.
- Build/Maintain shared framework components as new vehicle platforms, ECU releases, and validation domains are added.
Job requirements
- Bachelor or Master's degree in a relevant engineering or a related field (including ME, EE, CS, Robotics, Controls, Aerospace) or equivalent practical experience
- 3 + years experience in data analysis and test scripting/automation experience (C/C++, Python, Matlab/Simulink).
- 3+ years experience in Test planning and experimental design, especially designing for safety and repeatability.
- Proficiency in Automation test frameworks.
- Understanding of autonomous driving vehicles, infrastructure, and operations.
- Understanding of NI PXI based test systems or other commercial HIL platform experience and real-time bench automation.
- Understanding of systems engineering principles such as defining requirements and formal verification and validation
- Experience in hands-on troubleshooting at circuit board and module system levels, including systems integrated within a Vehicle network.
