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.

Surface resource constraints, sequence dependencies, and resolve trade-offs across near-term commitments and longer-term platform investments. • Resolve technical and organizational blockers. Engage in design reviews, integration planning, and issue investigations to understand root causes, challenge assumptions, and drive decisions. Bring the right experts together and ensure decisions translate into completed work. • Drive integration and deployment readiness. Coordinate requirements, interfaces, testing, release gates, rollout plans, and operational readiness across onboard software, offboard services, and partner systems. Ensure gaps have clear owners and closure criteria. • Manage execution with external partners. Align vehicle manufacturers, technology suppliers, and commercial partners on deliverables, responsibilities, acceptance criteria, and schedules. Resolve dependencies jointly with engineering, product, business, and legal teams. • Improve how the organization executes. Establish practical planning and review processes that make risks and decisions vi
