You'll work across the onboard software stack, building new capabilities, improving system reliability, and solving engineering challenges that arise from operating autonomous vehicles in the real world. This is a hands-on role combining software development with direct involvement in our fleet. You'll work closely with our software engineering and fleet operations teams to implement features, investigate system behavior, and build tools that help us develop, test, and operate our vehicles more effectively. We're open to a range of experience levels and value strong technical fundamentals, independent problem-solving, and the ability to quickly understand unfamiliar systems. This is an on-site role based in San Francisco. ## Key Responsibilities - Develop and maintain software across our onboard systems, including runtime services, sensor interfaces, networking, and logging. - Investigate and resolve software issues using logs, telemetry, and hands-on testing. - Implement features, bug fixes, and system improvements based on real-world fleet experience. - Deploy, configure, and validate software releases on vehicles. - Build diagnostic tools, scripts, and automation to improve fleet reliability and engineering efficiency. - Work closely with fleet operations and other engineering teams to support vehicle testing and continuously improve our software stack. ## Minimum Qualifications - Strong software engineering fundamentals and proficiency in at least one programming language. - Experience with Linux systems, command-line tools, and software debugging. - Ability to systematically investigate complex technical problems and identify root causes. - Comfortable working across software and hardware interfaces. - Strong ownership, communication skills, and ability to work independently. ## Preferred Qualifications - Experience with robotics, autonomous vehicles, embedded systems, or distributed systems. - Experience with Python, Rust, or C++. - Experience with sensors, networking, telemetry, or data logging. - Experience with software deployment, system monitoring, or test automation. - Experience developing software for systems deployed on physical hardware. ## About Humble Robotics ## Company Overview - **One-liner**: Humble Robotics develops fully autonomous, electric Class 8 haulers to decarbonize and lower the cost of commercial freight transportation. - **Entity Type**: Private (Seed stage) - **Headquarters**: San Francisco, California, United States - **Founded**: 2026 - **Founders**: Eyal Cohen ## Core Business - Primary industry/industries: Autonomous vehicles, Robotics, Logistics, Freight transportation - Target customers: Enterprise logistics providers, freight carriers, and global supply chain networks (B2B) - Mission or purpose statement: "Decarbonizing freight transportation, the backbone of global supply chains but also a major contributor to greenhouse gases." ## Products & Services - **[Humble Hauler]**: A fully autonomous, electric Class 8 hauler designed for dock-to-dock freight movement. It is cabless, features 360º visibility, and uses vision-first autonomy (vision-language-action models) on a low-cost, flexible hardware platform that supports multiple vehicle configurations. ## Market Standing - **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not publicly available - **Key Metric**: $24 million in total funding (Seed round) - **Notable Investors/Partners**: Eclipse (lead investor), Energy Impact Partners. Backed by veteran industry advisors. - **Growth Signals**: Founded in 2026 and already raised a $24M seed round; team of 26 employees; actively hiring for 13+ open roles in engineering and autonomy. Has launched initial pilots with leading logistics partners toward commercial deployment. ## Competitive Advantages - **Purpose-built, cabless design**: Removing the front cab enables 360º visibility and lowers structural costs. - **Vision-first autonomy (VLA models)**: Uses advanced physical AI that adapts to complex, real-world logistics scenarios. - **Experienced team**: Hails from companies like Google, Uber, Apple, Tesla, and Rivian, with deep expertise in autonomy and trucking. - **End-to-end focus**: Targeting a complete dock-to-dock solution, not just highway autonomy, differentiating from many autonomous trucking competitors. ## Strategic Focus - Continue development of the autonomous hauler platform. - Launch and scale initial pilot programs with logistics partners. - Move toward early-stage manufacturing and broader commercial deployment. - Grow the engineering team across autonomy, hardware, and software disciplines. ## Why Work Here - **Team & Culture**: Described as a "fast-moving, close-knit team of AV industry veterans and innovative thinkers" with a "high responsibility, high reward" ethos. Emphasizes "fun, challenging problems" and "brilliant talent to learn from." - **Work Model**: On-site in San Francisco. Flexible work schedules and "amazing benefits" are advertised. Office is located at the "center of AV innovation." - **Engineering Culture**: 59% of the workforce is in technical roles. Actively recruiting for engineers in autonomy, simulation, embedded systems, vehicle systems, hardware validation, data engineering, and more. Works with a modern tech stack including Python, PyTorch, CUDA, Linux, Bazel, Terraform, and simulation tools. - **Growth Opportunity**: Early-stage company tackling a massive challenge (decarbonizing freight), offering high ownership and impact from day one. ## Sources 1.
