What are the responsibilities and job description for the Onboard AV Software Engineer position at 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- Optimize and deploy neural network models for onboard inference using TensorRT and custom CUDA kernels
- Profile and reduce end-to-end latency across the autonomous driving stack—from sensor ingestion to control
- Build and maintain the onboard C and Rust software infrastructure, including real-time data pipelines, inter-process communication, and hardware abstraction layers
- Implement model quantization, pruning, and other optimization techniques to maximize throughput on embedded GPU platforms
- Collaborate with ML engineers to ensure models are designed for efficient deployment, and with vehicle systems engineers to meet real-time safety constraints
- BS, MS, or PhD in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Robotics, or a related field—or equivalent industry experience
- Strong proficiency in C and/or Rust for performance-critical systems
- Hands-on experience with GPU-accelerated computing—CUDA, TensorRT, or similar inference optimization toolchains
- Familiarity with ML model architectures (transformers, CNNs) and the ability to reason about computational cost and memory footprint
- Eligible to work in the United States
As 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.
