Job summary

Nuro is seeking a Senior Systems Test Engineer to advance its Verification & Validation ecosystem for autonomous driving. You will design and implement automated test pipelines, standardize triage workflows across workstreams, and drive data-driven validation that supports the Autonomy Safety Case.

You will collaborate with partner teams such as Data Platform, Simulation, and Infra, lead root cause analysis, and turn gaps into concrete technical requests.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of technical work experience in a relevant area with 3+ years of experience with testing of autonomous vehicles/robotic systems.
• Hands-on software experience with the ability to code in Python or C++ for automation and tooling development.
• Experience in designing, implementing, and managing large scale simulation or test automation pipelines.
• Strong understanding of systems engineering concepts related to autonomy architecture, particularly how sensing, perception, prediction, and planning modules interact.
• Highly collaborative, with strong abilities to think and communicate analytically to drive cross-functional projects and provide technical guidance to partner teams like Simulation and Data Platform.

Responsibilities

• Design and implement automated test pipelines and tooling, ensuring easy adoption and minimal friction for Systems engineers.
• Drive standardization across all testing modalities by designing, implementing, and managing unified triage workflows across all workstreams.
• Establish a continuous feedback loop to improve V&V processes, specifically by leading root cause analyses and identifying testing gaps with Systems engineers.
• Turn identified system and pipeline gaps into concrete technical requests for partner teams (e.g., Data Platform, Simulation, Infra).
• Collaborate on and validate implemented solutions with partner teams, providing technical guidance, code review, and documentation to ensure solutions are scalable and meet the needs of Systems engineers.
