This role involves defining and implementing highly resilient networking infrastructure, telemetry, and routing for large-scale data flow across current and next-generation platforms. Responsibilities include driving fault-tolerant software architecture for cellular and Wi-Fi networks, evaluating hardware, optimizing throughput and stability using advanced cellular bonding, and developing tools to track and optimize connectivity. The ideal candidate will be a technical authority with 8+ years of experience, strong C/C++/Go/Python skills, and expertise in cellular modems, Linux networking, and system design, capable of mentoring engineers and shaping long-term architectural vision.

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 Role

As the Technical Lead for Fleet Connectivity, you will define and build the highly resilient foundation for two-way communication between Nuro’s autonomous fleets and the cloud. You will take ownership of the networking infrastructure, telemetry, and routing that manage critical data flow at scale across our current and next-generation platforms.

Your technical leadership will drive the architecture of fault-tolerant software across both cellular and Wi-Fi networks. A significant part of this role involves evaluating new connectivity hardware modules and working intimately with modems and commercial cellular networks to maximize throughput and stability. By leveraging advanced cellular bonding technologies, you will deliver the robust networking backbone required to support critical capabilities. These include seamless Vehicle APIs, high-bandwidth in-depot connections, continuous telemetry, and low-latency data streaming for remote assistance.

This is a highly cross-functional and high-impact role. Partnering closely with hardware, autonomy, and operations teams, you will spearhead the development of tools to optimize connectivity trends and resolve critical fleet issues. We are looking for a technical authority who can translate ambiguous requirements into cohesive system designs, mentor engineers, and shape the long-term architectural vision of Nuro’s safety-critical autonomous vehicles.

About the Work

  • Establish the technical roadmap and architectural vision for the fleet connectivity, ensuring the observability, security, and reliability of cellular network components and network software during robot start-up and autonomous operation.
  • Drive system design for highly scalable, fault-tolerant connectivity solutions, leading software efforts for Nuro’s next-gen platforms.
  • Lead high-impact technical initiatives, working closely with upstream and downstream stakeholder teams to define system requirements and implement overarching connectivity strategies.
  • Spearhead the development of advanced analysis tools, dashboards, and automation frameworks to track, measure, and optimize connectivity trends from operational data.
  • Serve as the technical authority for the team, providing high-level design guidance, code reviews, and technical mentorship for both junior and senior engineers.
  • About You

  • Strong proficiency in C, C++, Go, Python, or similar languages.
  • Exceptional ability to turn ambiguous, high-level requirements into detailed, cohesive system designs and architecture spanning multiple components.
  • Deep technical expertise in debugging and tooling of cellular modems, Linux network stacks, and networking protocols.
  • 8+ years of relevant industry experience with a proven track record of acting as a Tech Lead on complex software projects.
  • BS, MS, or PhD in Computer Science, or a related technical field.
  • 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.
