Process
The interview process included:
- Phone screening and interview
- Paper test
- Two onsite interviews
I've been in the industry for over 10 years. The onsite interviews were mainly high-level and sometimes asked questions irrelevant to the position or my experience. It seemed they didn't know what they were looking for.
There was a lack of courtesy. After such a long process, I would expect to hear feedback if not moving forward, especially since they repeatedly stated everything was positive until the last minute.
They offered the lowest starting salary in the Bay Area, regardless of experience or degree (short-sighted, but I would blame the founders).
Questions
The questions were relevantly easy: draw a CAN circuit, functional safety, testing, etc.

Nuro Work Experiences
- 4.0Lots of diverse technologiesEngineer • Current EmployeeJuly 11, 2025Pros: This is probably one of the most diverse sets of engineering challenges you could encounter. From software and algorithms to sensor hardware to mechanical design for harsh environments, there's always some place to challenge your innovation and problem-solving skills. It's going to be difficult; you're going to encounter situations you can't Google search or ChatGPT your way out of.Cons: Be prepared to get dirty and messy. There is no shortage of frustrating moments because this is still very much a fast-paced, but (mature) startup. People are busy and focusing on their own deliverables, so you have to learn to rely on yourself many times.
