About this role

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.
Position Overview
Own design, integration, and early validation of new mechanical hardware for large autonomous vehicles.

Key Responsibilities

  • Design, prototype, and validate mechanical systems and components for autonomous trucking platforms

  • Create detailed CAD models and engineering drawings for fabrication and assembly
