Who We Are 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. With years of real-world deployment experience and a flexible, partner-led business model, Nuro is working toward a future where millions of autonomous vehicles powered by our technology help make everyday life safer, easier, and more connected. Nuro has raised over $2B in capital from Uber, NVIDIA, Google, Softbank, Fidelity, T. Rowe Price, and other leading investors. About the Team L4 driverless deployment creates an incredibly high bar for behavior quality and safety. This motivates: A layer of principled robotics-based safety protections for the autonomy system A process for solving every issue observed onroad, in a way that is fast and trustworthy This team owns both these critical safety components and the iteration loop. We’re looking for someone who is passionate about robotics and safety, excited about the challenge of supporting a real commercial deployment, and enthusiastic about integrating solutions seamlessly with the data-driven autonomy system. About the Work You will: Own the core logic and software implementation for the robotics-based safety protections in the autonomy stack Be the primary POC for solving real world autonomy issues, including root cause analysis, design and implementation of principled solutions, and testing and deployment. Lead and grow a technical team dedicated to

Zoox is developing a full-stack autonomous mobility solution for our cities. As a Technical Program Manager in EE Systems, you will own the electrical and electrical-distribution program scope on vehicle programs that Zoox executes jointly with external engineering partners. You will own the RASIC, the change flow, the milestone plan, and the weekly truth about where EE stands. The harness technical lead owns the engineering content; you own the program. In this role, you will: Serve as the central EE coordination function for your program — the single Zoox point of contact for all electrical scope and the counterpart to the partner's E/E lead — and own the EE portion of the engineering RASIC from concept through industrialization Drive low-voltage harness and EDS impact assessment and change management, running gap analysis of partner-proposed designs against Zoox EDS design best practices and lessons learned, and converting findings into tracked change requests Manage cross-company engineering data exchange and release control, including CAD toolchain and version incompatibility between Zoox and its partners; ensure Zoox retains configuration and release control of LV harness drawings, and work with Sourcing and Supplier Quality on build-to-print readiness Coordinate the full set of EE work packages — antenna integration, vehicle-level EMC verification, E/E integration and regression testing, thermal validation, and electrical mounting hardware — pulling in the responsible Zoox module owners and holding them to dates Build and hold the EE milestone plan against program gates and material required dates, surfacing risk early with a recovery option rather than a red status; publish a concise weekly program update and prepare EE content for executive and gate reviews Qualifications: BS or MS in an engineering discipline, or equivalent experience</
