Humble Robotics Opportunities

About Humble Robotics Working 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.

The Vehicle Systems Engineer is responsible for the integration, performance, and reliability of complex vehicle systems across mechanical, electrical, and software domains. This role ensures that all vehicle subsystems function cohesively to meet product requirements, safety standards, and operational goals. The engineer collaborates closely with cross-functional teams—including hardware, software, robotics, and manufacturing—to define system architecture and requirements, manage interfaces between subsystems, and support the full product lifecycle from concept through deployment and field support.

Develop system architectures, interface definitions, and integration plans for vehicle subsystems.

Lead integration of key cross-discipline systems within the autonomous and electric vehicle platform.

Perform system-level analysis, including performance, safety, reliability, and fault tolerance.

Work with the larger engineering team to define and manage system-level requirements for vehicle platforms

Work with team to specify and source critical components

Support design reviews and ensure alignment between subsystem teams during development.

Plan and execute vehicle-level testing, validation, and troubleshooting.

Identify integration risks and implement mitigation strategies throughout development.

Collaborate with hardware and software teams to ensure system compatibility.

Support root cause analysis and resolution of system-level issues during testing and deployment.

Contribute to documentation including requirements, test plans, and technical reports.

Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, Robotics, or a related field.

3+ years of experience in vehicle systems engineering, robotics platforms, or complex electromechanical systems.

Experience with integration of complex systems involving mechanical, electrical, and software.

Strong interest in quickly learning about new complex systems

Familiarity with requirements management and systems engineering practices.

Experience with testing, validation, and troubleshooting integrated systems.

Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to diagnose cross-disciplinary issues.

Effective communication skills and ability to collaborate across engineering teams.

Eligible to work in the United States

Master’s degree in Systems Engineering, Robotics, Mechanical Engineering, or a related discipline.
