Nuro Careers

Nuro is a U.S.-based autonomous vehicle company focused on developing driverless technology for local goods delivery. Founded in 2016 by former Google self-driving car (Waymo) engineers Dave Ferguson and Jiajun Zhu, the company’s mission is to accelerate the benefits of robotics for everyday life by enabling safer, more efficient delivery of goods. Unlike many autonomous vehicle companies that focus on passenger transport, Nuro designs compact, road‑legal vehicles specifically built to carry packages, groceries, and food, reducing congestion and improving last‑mile logistics.

Headquartered in Mountain View, California, Nuro has grown to several hundred employees and has raised billions in venture funding from investors such as SoftBank, Google, and Tiger Global. The company developed the R2, a purpose-built autonomous delivery vehicle that received a special exemption from the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in 2020—one of the first for a fully driverless delivery vehicle without traditional driver controls. Nuro has partnered with major retailers and brands including Kroger, Domino’s, Walmart, and FedEx to pilot autonomous delivery services.

In recent years, Nuro has expanded its strategy to include licensing its autonomous driving platform to automotive and mobility partners while continuing to refine its delivery-focused vehicles. The company is widely recognized as a leading innovator in autonomous last‑mile logistics and robotics-powered delivery infrastructure.
