Software Engineer, Autonomous Systems

About Humble RoboticsWorking at Humble Robotics means taking on the biggest change in ground transportation in decades. We’re building an autonomous, zero-emissions hauler that dramatically lowers the cost of freight with groundbreaking vision-based AI, designed for today’s global logistics network.We’re a fast-moving, close-knit team of AV industry veterans and innovative thinkers. We don’t believe culture can be engineered - but when it falls into place, it’s a once-in-a-lifetime adventure.Progress has never felt so present.Position OverviewWe're looking for a software engineer to help build the software systems that make our autonomous trucks drive. Your primary focus will be on software that runs on the vehicle, and you'll contribute across the stack—from sensors and inference to developer tooling and fleet-facing systems—working closely with teammates across robotics, ML, and controls. We also value engineers who are excited to jump into adjacent parts of the stack as needed, from firmware-facing integrations and developer tooling to cloud services and internal applications. This is a chance to support a production autonomy stack from day one, shipping code that runs on real trucks hauling real freight.Key ResponsibilitiesContribute to the design, implementation, and optimization of software across the autonomy stack, with an emphasis on real-time systems running on the vehicleHelp build and improve on-vehicle data logging and recording systemsContribute to the hermetic build and cross-compilation pipeline, including packaging and deployment for on-vehicle compute platforms and adjacent system componentsInstrument, profile, and improve system performance end-to-end—from IPC latency to compute throughput to disk I/OWrite tests and support CI improvements to ensure system reliabilityContribute to integrations across on-vehicle, cloud, and fleet-facing systems—remote data pipelines, over-the-air updates, and connectivityJump into adjacent engineering work as needed, from firmware-facing integrations and developer tooling to cloud services and internal web applicationsCollaborate with ML and controls engineers to integrate their work into the real-time on-vehicle stackMinimum QualificationsBS or MS in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Robotics, or a related field—or equivalent industry experienceStrong proficiency in Rust or C++ with experience shipping low-latency, concurrent software on LinuxFamiliarity with real-time scheduling, inter-process communication, synchronization primitives, and debugging latency-sensitive concurrent systemsExperience contributing to Linux systems software, hardware-adjacent infrastructure, sensor / compute platform bring-up, or similarly close-to-hardware systemsEligible to work in the United StatesPreferred QualificationsExperience contributing to software for autonomous vehicles, mobile robots, or other safety-critical systemsHands-on work with sensor integrationExperience with GPU-accelerated compute or productionizing AI models (quantization, optimization, deployment)Experience with low-latency IPC, shared-memory transport, or high-throughput pub-sub systemsFamiliarity with cloud infrastructure, networking, or vehicle-to-cloud data pipelinesExperience with Bazel or other hermetic build systemsExperience with cross-compilation, packaging, or deployment for Linux-based systemsComfort working as a software generalist across systems boundaries, from on-vehicle software to cloud services and internal toolsComfort working on a small team with high ownership, low ego, and fast iterationCompensationThis role is eligible for base salary + benefits + equity compensation. Salary ranges are determined by role, level, and location. Within the range, individual pay is determined by additional factors, including qualifications, skills, experience, and location.Additional InformationAs part of the interview process, we may use Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools to compare your qualifications and experience to the job description. A human reviews all AI output and makes a final hiring decision. Humble Robotics does not rely on the output to make any employment decisions. Some applicants may have a legal right to opt-out of the use of AI as part of our interview process. Contact legal@humblerobotics.ai to exercise this right or if you have further questions on the use of AI tools in our hiring process.Humble Robotics is an equal opportunity employer.
