The projects we work on are high impact and high visibility within Nuro.

  • Experience with programming peripheral devices and device communication protocols such as USB, SPI, I2C, UART
  • Experience with radar, lidar, visual or thermal imaging cameras
  • Experience with machine learning or image processing
  • Experience with GPU programming and low level driver optimization for Nvidia GPUs
