Who We Are Nuro is a self-driving technology company on a mission to make autonomy accessible to all. Founded in 2016, Nuro is building the world’s most scalable driver, combining cutting-edge AI with automotive-grade hardware. Nuro licenses its core technology, the Nuro Driver™, to support a wide range of applications, from robotaxis and commercial fleets to personally owned vehicles. With technology proven over years of self-driving deployments, Nuro gives the automakers and mobility platforms a clear path to AVs at commercial scale—empowering a safer, richer, and more connected future.About the Team The Prototype and Development Engineer team interfaces with the Fabrication, Engineering and the Prototype Manufacturing teams by leading the prototype builds into inception. The team ensures all team members are certified and trained such as IPC/WHNA-A-620 with attention to detail, manual dexterity, and a solid grasp of electrical systems are key traits for success in this field.  You will communicate extensively with the fabrication and engineering teams to confirm and validate the prototypes.About the Role Our Prototype/Manufacturing team is growing and we are looking for a Prototype Development Engineer specializing in Harnessing that can establish a pathway to create, develop and assemble various harnesses. The engineer should be able to work with different types of electrical instruments already on the vehicle and incorporate different sensors, lidars, radars and electrical boards to help power the vehicle. The engineer will lead and assist the technicians for the prototype builds and provide feedback to help improve quality, reliability, serviceability, and cost.About the Work <ul><li>Work with the Engineering teams to provide fabrication, prototype, and development support.</li><li>Design and build one off parts, fixtures, assemblies, and components to support company development and vehicle platform needs.</li><li>Access Harness Requirements and develop diagrams and schematics.</li><li>Work directly with Application Engineers at the Manufactures to establish best practices</li></ul>About You <ul><li>Diagnostic experience with vehicle or robotics systems such as electrical and mechanical devices, sensors, computers, and other associated equipment. </li><li>Skillful with Harness development tools.</li><li>3+ years of experience in Manufacturing or technical training equivalent.</li><li>Able to modify architectural diagrams.</li><li>Work closely with the Component team and be hands on to make and develop manufacturable processes.</li><li>Effective communication and can adapt to the changing needs.</li><li>Electrical assembly, test, or manufacturing experience.</li><li>Electronic board soldering, experience in handling ESD sensitive components.</li><li>High level mechanical experience and competency.</li><li>Drive implementation of development harnesses into proto builds and benches.</li><li>Proficient in distinguishing the type of wiring colors and connections to use during proto builds.</li><li>Technical curiosity and excitement about the tech.</li></ul> Bonus Points  <ul><li>Strong Harness Modeling foundation</li><li>Ability to Analyze electrical load factors</li><li>Previous autonomous vehicle experience</li></ul>At Nuro, your base pay is one part of your total compensation package.

We believe that great technology should benefit everyone. The team at Nuro is accelerating a future where robots make life easier and help us connect to the people and things we love. Together, we're pushing the boundaries of robotics to improve human life.
Dave Ferguson and Jiajun Zhu have devoted their careers to robotics and machine learning, most recently as Principal Engineers at Google's self-driving car project (now Waymo). They founded Nuro in 2016 to harness the power of robotics and artificial intelligence to solve new challenges at a global scale.
Our vehicle is a fully autonomous, on-road vehicle designed to transport goods quickly, safely, and affordably.
With no driver or passengers to worry about, our vehicle has been engineered from the ground up to keep what's outside even safer than what's inside.
Efficient, electric, and fully autonomous, it delivers life's needs at a price anyone can afford.
