What is the difference between Assistant Automotive Embedded vs Automotive Embedded Engineer?

AspectAssistant Automotive EmbeddedAutomotive Embedded Engineer
Required CredentialsAssociate's or Bachelor's in Electrical/Computer Engineering, certifications like AUTOSAR or embedded systemsBachelor's or Master's in Electrical/Computer Engineering, extensive experience in embedded systems
Work EnvironmentSupportive team, entry-level tasks, collaboration with engineersDesign, develop, and test embedded systems, more independent responsibilities
Employer & Industry UsageAutomotive manufacturers, suppliers, R&D teamsAutomotive OEMs, Tier 1 suppliers, embedded system development firms

The Assistant Automotive Embedded role typically involves supporting engineering teams with embedded system tasks, requiring foundational knowledge and entry-level skills. In contrast, an Automotive Embedded Engineer handles complex design and development responsibilities, often with more experience and technical expertise. Both roles are essential in automotive electronics development but differ in scope and seniority.

Job description

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
As an Embedded Engineer, you will develop safety-critical, real-time firmware for automotive ECUs powering vehicle control and supervisory functions. You will work across the full firmware lifecycle, from board bring-up to production deployment, collaborating closely with hardware, software, systems, and safety engineering teams.
Key Responsibilities
  • Architect, develop, debug, and test real-time embedded firmware in C++ for automotive-grade microcontrollers
  • Develop and maintain bootloaders, low-level drivers, middleware, and RTOS configurations
  • Implement and integrate automotive communication protocols (CAN, LIN, Automotive Ethernet) and peripheral interfaces (SPI, I2C, UART)
  • Collaborate with hardware engineers on schematic review, board bring-up, and hardware-software co-debugging
  • Manage reliable communications between compute and embedded platforms on the vehicle
  • Partner with Tier 1s to integrate vehicle components
  • Develop and execute unit, integration, and hardware-in-loop test strategies
  • Root-cause both board-level and vehicle-level issues in the field
  • Support manufacturing test development and vehicle software deployment.

Minimum Qualifications
  • BS or MS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field
  • 3+ years developing production embedded firmware in C/C++
  • Experience with 32-bit ARM Cortex-M or similar automotive-grade microcontrollers
  • Experience developing custom HAL, drivers, and middleware on bare-metal or lightweight RTOS platforms
  • Working knowledge of safety-rated Real-Time Operating Systems
  • Experience with automotive communication protocols (CAN, LIN) and peripheral interfaces (SPI, I2C, UART)
  • Comfortable using Git and working in a Linux development environment
  • Proficiency with hardware debugging tools (SWD/JTAG, multimeter, oscilloscope, logic analyzer)
  • Eligible to work in the United States

Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience taking an embedded system from concept to production
  • Experience with safety-critical or fault-tolerant systems in automotive, aerospace, or robotics
  • Familiarity with ISO 26262 and functional safety concepts
  • Experience with modern C++ and/or Rust
  • Automotive Ethernet (100M/1G-T1), TSN/gPTP
  • Experience with embedded security and/or automotive security
  • MISRA C/C++ compliance and static analysis tooling
  • Python for test automation and scripting
  • Familiarity with HARA, FMEA, and safety-case development
  • Experience augmenting firmware development with LLMs while maintaining rigor and responsibility

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. Some applicants may have a legal right to opt-out of the use of AI as part of our interview process. Contact [email protected] to exercise this right or if you have further questions on the use of AI tools in our hiring process.
Humble Robotics is an equal opportunity employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, national origin, gender, age, religion, disability, sexual orientation, veteran status, marital status or any other characteristics protected by law. Humble Robotics will consider qualified applicants with arrest and conviction records in a manner consistent with local ordinances.
We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses and identifying potential inconsistencies or verification signals in application materials based on available information. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans.
