What is an Automotive Robotics job?

An Automotive Robotics job involves designing, programming, and maintaining robotic systems used in vehicle manufacturing and autonomous driving technologies. Professionals in this field work with automation, AI, and machine learning to improve production efficiency and develop self-driving or assistive driving systems. They may collaborate with engineers, software developers, and manufacturers to integrate robotics into automotive processes. This role requires expertise in robotics engineering, sensor technology, and control systems.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the Automotive Robotics position, and why are they important?

To excel in Automotive Robotics, you need a solid background in robotics engineering, mechanical design, and programming, often supported by a degree in engineering or a related field. Familiarity with industry-standard tools like PLCs, ROS (Robot Operating System), CAD software, and certifications in automation or robotics are valuable assets. Strong problem-solving abilities, teamwork, and effective communication skills help you collaborate with engineers, technicians, and production teams. These competencies are vital for designing, implementing, and maintaining advanced robotic systems that improve automotive manufacturing efficiency and safety.

What are the typical daily responsibilities of an Automotive Robotics professional?

Automotive Robotics professionals typically spend their days designing, programming, and maintaining robotic systems used in automotive manufacturing and assembly lines. They work with multidisciplinary teams to troubleshoot issues, optimize robotic performance, and implement system upgrades. Routine tasks also include conducting tests, analyzing system data, and ensuring compliance with safety and quality standards. Collaboration with engineers, production managers, and maintenance staff is common to ensure seamless operation and integration of robotic technologies into automotive workflows.

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
This role owns the functional/system safety engineering foundation end-to-end: hazard analysis, safety requirements, safety case/evidence, and the verification strategy across simulation and vehicle testing. You’ll work directly with autonomy, vehicle platform, embedded/compute, simulation, and test to ensure safety is designed in and proven with traceable evidence—without building a heavyweight process.
Key Responsibilities
  • Own the safety lifecycle for the AV program: safety plan, safety case structure, evidence strategy, and readiness gates.
  • Lead safety analyses across the stack (e.g., HARA, FMEA, FTA and other system-level hazard analysis approaches as appropriate) and maintain the hazard log.
  • Define safety goals, safety concepts (functional/technical or system safety equivalents), and safety requirements for HW/SW/ops with clear verification methods.
  • Drive safety-critical architecture and design decisions: fault handling, monitoring/diagnostics, degraded modes, minimal-risk behaviors, and interface assumptions.
  • Build the verification strategy linking hazards and safety goals to simulation coverage, SIL/HIL where applicable, and on-road/track testing.
  • Ensure traceability from requirements to tests to results, and produce clear safety evidence packages for internal reviews and external partners.
  • Establish lightweight operating mechanisms: safety reviews, change impact assessment, safety issue triage, and release/readiness decision documentation.
  • Guide teams on practical application of relevant standards and best practices (e.g., ISO 26262 where applicable, ISO 21448/SOTIF, UL 4600).
Minimum Qualifications
  • 8+ years building safety-critical systems (automotive, robotics, aerospace, industrial, medical), including 5+ years in functional safety and/or system safety.
  • Strong track record owning safety artifacts through major milestones: hazard analyses, safety requirements, verification strategies, and safety evidence.
  • Systems engineering strength: crisp, testable requirements; interface management; traceability; risk-based decision-making.
  • Technical breadth across AV-relevant domains (vehicle interfaces/actuation, embedded/compute, autonomy behaviors, operational constraints).
  • Comfort working hands-on with data and engineering tooling (e.g., Python/SQL) to create and interpret readiness signals.
  • Clear communicator who can lead cross-functional technical reviews and drive alignment.
  • Eligible to work in the United States
Preferred Qualifications
  • Direct L3/L4 autonomy experience (driverless pilot or commercial launch).
  • Practical experience applying ISO 26262, ISO 21448 (SOTIF), and/or UL 4600 to complex systems.
  • Experience with fault-tolerant/fail-operational strategies and minimal-risk maneuvers for automated driving.
  • Experience with HIL/SIL and simulation scenario coverage design tied to safety claims.
  • Experience working with partners, auditors, or regulators on safety evidence.
Compensation
Salary ranges are determined by role, level, and location. Within the range, individual pay is determined by additional factors, including qualifications, skills, experience, and location. We also offer competitive equity compensation and benefits.

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 legal@humblerobotics.ai 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. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans.
