Verified Job On Employer Career Site
Job Summary:
Nuro is a self-driving technology company on a mission to make autonomy accessible to all. As a Senior Systems Engineer, Fault Detection and Response, you will work closely with software engineering and data science teams to identify faults in autonomous software, refine fault handling criteria, and contribute to risk quantification and validation methodologies.
Responsibilities:
• Dive into the system-level implications of Nuro’s autonomy architecture and software to understand inter-dependency of failure modes.
• Define requirements for fault handling throughout the autonomy software system.
• Drive fault-centric validation concepts from prototype to production to test.
• Support the development of tools and data engineering frameworks that can inject faults into the autonomy stack and interpret results from curated amounts of simulation, on-road, closed course testing to assess mission capabilities and safety.
• Work closely with autonomy developers to extract high-impact metrics and performance indicators that will test our robots’ readiness to drive autonomously on public roads in the event of degraded states of software.
• Contribute to tooling for automated evaluation of issues in test logs that check for satisfaction of contingency requirements.
Qualifications:
Required:
• 3 years of technical work experience in robotics SW or relevant area.
• Bachelor’s Degree or Master’s Degree candidate in Computer Science, Math, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Robotics, Physics, or related field.
• Strong programming and algorithmic problem solving skills in C /C.
• Technically fluent and experienced working in a team with strong software engineering practices.
• Highly collaborative in nature with strong abilities to think and communicate analytically and effectively.
• Self starter and fast learner - you should be passionate about picking up new skills and approaching unstructured problems from first principles.
• You must have at least 3 years of experience in multiple of the following (not necessarily in industry): Software development in one or more of autonomy’s core modules: localization, perception prediction, planning, controls, teleoperation.
• Experience with Linux or Unix computer systems engineering such as communication protocols, designing fault-tolerant systems, and atomicity and coordination of concurrent activities for complex autonomous software.
• Analyzing and managing FDIR (fault detection, isolation, recovery) for the software stack on semi-autonomous or autonomous vehicles or equipment.
• Defining requirements using data-driven and first-principle techniques.
• Implementing test coverage for faults.
• Identifying emergent behavior in a safety-critical complex system including interactions between modules.
• End-to-end functional decomposition, defining physical/logical architectures, allocating functionality, and reliability analysis of safety-critical complex systems via STPA or other hazard analysis techniques.
• Adaptive stress testing or probabilistic software diagnostics.
