The ideal candidate has hands-on experience in the research, development, and implementation of machine learning methods (e.g., NeRF or Gaussian splatting) for generating synthetic sensor data (photorealistic images, realistic lidar and/or radar, etc.).

About The Work

  • Research, develop, and implement state-of-the-art synthetic sensor simulation methods.
  • Analyze and characterize the realism and utility of synthetic sensor data.
  • Answer critical questions about sensor data and autonomy performance.
  • Collaborate with stakeholders across autonomy, infrastructure, and systems teams on map needs and requirements.

About You

  • One of:
    • PhD in machine learning, computer science, electrical engineering, robotics, or related field, and 3+ years of industry experience.
    • Masters and 4+ years of industry experience.
    • 5+ years of industry experience.
  • Deep understanding of ML fundamentals with hands-on experience in training and evaluating modern ML models.
  • Strong Python skills with experience in deep learning frameworks, e.g., PyTorch, TensorFlow, or Jax.

Bonus Points

  • Deep understanding of 3D geometry and state estimation fundamentals.
  • Proficiency in systems coding.
  • Experience in simulating/modeling real sensors (camera, lidar, radar, IMU, etc...), including noise modeling.
  • Experience in modern ML graphics techniques, e.g., NeRF, Gaussian Splatting, and/or generative models.
  • Experience in building ML pipelines and optimizing/productizing ML models.
  • Demonstrated research publications in top conferences (e.g. NeurIPS, ICLR, ICML, CVPR, RSS, CoRL, ICRA).

At Nuro, your base pay is one part of your total compensation package. For this position, the reasonably expected base pay range is between $193,930 and $291,150 for the level at which this job has been scoped. Your base pay will depend on several factors, including your experience, qualifications, education, location, and skills.
