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 conn…
What you'd do
- Review annotated datasets and labeling outputs for quality and consistency across robotics and autonomy workflows.
- Apply defined QC rubrics to evaluate outputs as pass, fail, or needs review, documenting specific defect types clearly: incorrect output, regression, edge-case failure, data inconsistency, or tool behavior deviation.
- Maintain a clean, complete review log for every item assessed. Every assessment is documented. No gaps.
- Test internal tools across standard workflows and exception scenarios as directed by the Operations Lead.
- Reproduce reported bugs reliably and validate fixes with clear supporting documentation including steps taken, inputs used, expected versus actual behavior.
- Track test coverage across tools, workflows, and edge cases, and flag discrepancies before each cycle begins.
- Submit completed QC and testing logs on the agreed cadence, flagging urgent or high-severity defects the same day, without waiting for the regular report.
- Write defect notes that are specific, reproducible, and immediately actionable, not vague flags, but clear descriptions of what failed and why it matters.
- Escalate any case where the rubric or test plan is ambiguous or doesn't cover the scenario. When you're unsure, you ask rather than guess.
- Flag recurring defects, systemic issues, or documentation gaps when you notice patterns across multiple items. Your perspective across the full volume of work is something no one else has.
