About the Role

On the Autonomy Visualization team, your top priority will be developing high-quality visualization platforms. These platforms will allow any software engineer to add new viz elements. Additionally, you’ll also have the opportunity to work end-to-end on viz features and products, exercising both your technical skills, product sense, and cross-functional communication.

About the Work

As an Autonomy Visualization Software Engineer, you’ll build business-critical tools that accelerate the development of Nuro’s autonomous driving technology.

  • Build performant visualization frameworks in both C++ / OpenGL and Unity to serve multiple critical functions like autonomy development and validation, triage tools, and in-car visualization. 
  • Be a partner to Autonomy engineers as they seek to improve their development workflow with better visualization.
  • Collaborate with ML Labeling teams, as they seek to gather high-quality training data with bespoke labeling tools.
  • Interface with product managers and designers to build polished visualizations for external applications that represent Nuro well.

About You

  • You have 1+ years of software development experience in C++, OpenGL and QT
  • You have a basic understanding of graphics concepts (e.g., rendering pipelines, shaders, coordinate systems).
  • Prior experience with visualization apps or game engines (OpenGL, Vulkan, Unity, Unreal)
  • You’re deeply technical: you enjoy working through thorny performance problems in low-level code, and working with advanced language features.
  • You have strong communication skills, and collaborate effectively with colleagues from a wide range of disciplines and backgrounds.
