Who We Are
Nuro is a self-driving technology company on a mission to make autonomy accessible to all. Founded in 2016, Nuro is building the world’s most scalable driver, combining cutting-edge AI with automotive-grade hardware. Nuro licenses its core technology, the Nuro Driver™, to support a wide range of applications, from robotaxis and commercial fleets to personally owned vehicles. With technology proven over years of self-driving deployments, Nuro gives the automakers and mobility platforms a clear path to AVs at commercial scale, empowering a safer, richer, and more connected future.
About the Role
Nuro's autonomous vehicle platform has to work - not just in the easy cases, but in the hard ones. The ones we design for, simulate at scale, and deliberately break to understand. We're looking for a Systems Engineering TPM who owns the technical substance of how we validate autonomy: what we test, why we test it, and whether our coverage actually means something.
This is not a planning or scheduling role. You'll work embedded with Autonomy, Simulation, and Systems Engineering teams to drive the technical rigor behind our validation program — defining scene sets, structuring fault injection campaigns, and ensuring our simulation coverage is meaningful, traceable, and systematically growing. The program infrastructure is owned elsewhere; your job is to make sure what's inside it is technically sound.
About the Work
-
Scenario & Coverage Strategy
- Understanding the taxonomy of challenging scene sets used for autonomy validation - ensuring coverage spans safety-critical, edge-case, and adversarial scenarios grounded in real-world operational data and systems requirements.
- Own the technical framework for measuring validation coverage: what counts as covered, where the gaps are, and what engineering decisions close them.
- Partner with systems engineers to translate system-level requirements and failure modes into concrete, testable scenario definitions.
Large-Scale Simulation
- Drive the technical design of large-scale simulation campaigns - scenario selection, variation strategies, metrics definition, and results interpretation.
- Work with simulation and infrastructure teams to ensure campaign design maximizes signal: the right scenarios, run at the right fidelity, with results that feed actionable engineering decisions.
- Identify when simulation results are inconclusive or misleading and drive the engineering conversation to resolve it.
Fault Injection & Unhealthy Autonomy
- Own the technical strategy for fault injection and degraded-mode validation - defining what failure conditions matter, how they're induced, and what acceptable autonomy behavior looks like under each.
- Collaborate with Systems Engineering, Controls, and HW teams to build fault injection test matrices grounded in FMEA and systems-level failure mode analysis.
- Ensure unhealthy autonomy behaviors surfaced through fault injection are technically understood, root-caused, and tied back to requirements or safety goals.
Requirements Traceability & Systems Engineering
- Maintain traceability between autonomy system requirements, scenario/test definitions, and validation evidence — ensuring the coverage story is coherent and audit-ready.
- Apply systems engineering principles to structure validation logic: interface dependencies, assumption documentation, and V&V coverage mapping.
- Serve as the technical bridge between systems development and validation execution — translating what the system is supposed to do into how we know it does it.
Technical Collaboration & Domain Expertise
- Be the person in the room who understands both the autonomy stack and the validation methodology well enough to push back, ask the hard questions, and spot coverage gaps others miss.
- Partner closely with the Systems Validation TPM — who owns planning, timelines, and scope gates — to ensure technical execution stays aligned with program commitments without duplicating that function.
- Communicate complex validation logic and coverage gaps clearly to engineering leads and senior stakeholders.
About You
- 4–6 years in systems engineering, autonomy validation, or a technically-focused TPM role in autonomous vehicles, robotics, or aerospace.
- Deep familiarity with scenario-based testing, coverage-driven validation, or autonomy stack evaluation.
- Strong systems engineering fundamentals: requirements traceability, V&V methodology, interface management, failure mode analysis.
- Ability to engage technically with autonomy, simulation, and hardware engineers — not just coordinate between them.
- Comfortable owning ambiguous technical problems and driving them to structured, defensible conclusions.
Bonus
- Experience designing or executing large-scale simulation campaigns, including scenario variation strategies and results analysis.
- Familiarity with SOTIF (ISO 21448), UL 4600, or safety-of-the-intended-functionality concepts as they apply to autonomy validation.
- Background in ODD (Operational Design Domain) analysis, scenario taxonomy development, or safety case construction.
- Experience with simulation platforms such as CARLA, LGSVL, or proprietary AV sim environments.
