Senior/Staff Engineer, Machine Learning - Online Mapping

Nuro is hiring a senior or staff ML engineer for its Online Mapping team. The work centers on onboard mapping models, data and label management, training pipelines, and the evaluation loops that decide whether mapping changes improve real robot navigation.

This is a research-to-production autonomy role rather than a generic ML platform job. The posting calls for hands-on experience with robotics, mapping, computer vision, 3D geometry, and production ML tradeoffs.

What you would work on

• Research and implement online mapping models and algorithms
• Analyze mapping system performance and find data, model, or evaluation gaps
• Integrate mapping models into larger autonomy architectures
• Work with autonomy, infrastructure, and systems teams on mapping requirements

• Experience solving production ML problems in robotics, AVs, mapping, computer vision, or adjacent areas
• Strong ML fundamentals and practical model evaluation judgment
• Python and deep learning framework experience
• Familiarity with 3D geometry, state estimation, ML pipelines, or robotics research is a plus
