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.

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

Create detailed CAD models and engineering drawings for fabrication and assembly

Work hands-on in the shop to build, modify, and test hardware

Collaborate cross-functionally with electrical, software, and systems engineers

Support integration of sensors, compute hardware, and vehicle subsystems

Conduct root cause analysis and implement design improvements

Develop and execute test plans (bench and vehicle-level)

Manage parts sourcing, fabrication vendors, and assembly processes

Contribute to rapid iteration cycles and field deployments

Required Qualifications

Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or related engineering discipline

2+ years of relevant industry or internship experience

Strong hands-on experience with shop tools, including:

Manual mill and lathe
Laser cutter
Power tools (drills, grinders, etc.)
Proficiency in CAD (SolidWorks preferred)
Familiarity with GD&T and tolerance stack-ups
Experience designing for manufacturability and assembly (DFM/DFA)
Ability to build and test prototypes independently
Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail
Comfortable working in a fast-paced, ambiguous startup environment
Familiarity with sheet metal, machining, and rapid prototyping methods (3D printing, CNC, etc.)

Preferred Qualifications

Experience working on large vehicles, or autonomous vehicles
Basic understanding of electrical systems and sensor integration
Experience with PLM/PDM systems
Familiarity with FEA or other simulation tools
Experience supporting field testing or deployments
Startup or small-team experience
