Software Engineer, Fleet Systems
Humble Robotics
About the role
Position Overview
We're looking for an experienced software engineer to develop, deploy, and improve the software powering our autonomous vehicle fleet. 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.
