Senior Embedded Software Engineer at Nuro · LumiJobs

Responsibilities

Nuro operates real self-driving vehicles on public roads today — not a research platform, not ADAS. The Embedded Software Engineering team builds the software for the safety-critical embedded controllers that connect the Nuro DriverTM to the vehicle: the devices that command steering, braking, and propulsion, alongside other vehicle actuators, distribute and monitor power, monitor vehicle motion, and bring the vehicle to a safe state when something goes wrong.
As a Senior Embedded Software Engineer, you will work across the full stack of multicore automotive microcontrollers from RTOS, drivers, and scheduler up through middleware and application components that talk to the vehicle, and help extend that stack as our hardware evolves. You will bring the Nuro DriverTM up on new vehicle platforms alongside OEM and supplier engineers, and see your code drive real vehicles on public roads. We're hiring across levels, from engineers with a couple years of embedded experience to those who've shipped a production automotive launch.
Design, implement and test embedded C software for safety-critical multicore automotive microcontrollers, spanning base software such as RTOS, device drivers, scheduling and bootloader, middleware such as inter-component messaging and end-to-end protection, and application components such as actuator interface, body controls, power management and fault management.
Integrate the Nuro DriverTM with new vehicle platforms: define and implement CAN and Ethernet interfaces with OEM ECUs, adapt actuator and body-control interfaces, and validate them on bench and in vehicle.
Take part in hands-on device and vehicle bring-up, prototyping and debugging on multiple vehicle platforms, from first power-on to autonomous driving.
Build and maintain the team's verification infrastructure: unit tests, hardware-in-the-loop benches and vehicle test procedures.
Work within an ISO 26262 development process: define software requirements from system safety requirements, then implement and verify them with full traceability.
Collaborate daily with systems, safety, hardware, controls and autonomy engineers, and with OEM and supplier partners, from definition through verification.
