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
We’re looking for a Controls Engineer to design and optimize trajectory generation and control systems for an autonomous truck. You’ll own safety-critical systems and ensure reliable execution of complex maneuvers, working closely with the ML team to integrate real-time path outputs while enforcing system constraints and safety checks. This role spans embedded systems and diverse compute platforms, and offers a rare opportunity to connect cutting-edge ML with production autonomy on a small, high-ownership team.
Key Responsibilities
  • Design, implement, tune, and deploy real-time controllers for autonomous trucks, taking ownership from modeling through on-vehicle validation
  • Develop and maintain vehicle dynamics models and perform system identification to support controller design and simulation fidelity
  • Build and improve estimation and sensor fusion pipelines for vehicle state (Kalman filters, EKF/UKF, etc.)
  • Validate controllers through SIL/HIL testing, closed-loop simulation, and structured on-vehicle experiments
  • Debug, analyze, and iterate on controllers in the field using vehicle logs and telemetry
  • Collaborate with teams across ML autonomy, system software, hardware, and safety on interfaces, requirements, and integration
  • Contribute to the controls codebase in Rust with a focus on safety, reliability, real-time performance, and maintainability
  • Document design decisions, experiments, and tuning methodology clearly for the broader team
Minimum Qualifications
  • BS, MS, or PhD in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Robotics, or a related field—or equivalent industry experience
  • Strong foundation in classical control theory: PID, LQR, state-space methods
  • Industry experience developing real-time control systems deployed on physical hardware
  • Strong proficiency in Rust and/or C++ for performance-critical systems
  • Experience with estimation techniques (Kalman filters, complementary filters, or similar)
  • Demonstrated ability to debug and tune controllers on real hardware
  • Experience with ROS/ROS2/Autoware/Iceoryx or comparable robotics middleware
  • Strong written and verbal technical communication
  • Eligible to work in the United States
Preferred Qualifications
  • Background in nonlinear, robust, or adaptive control
  • Experience with Model Predictive Control (MPC) and optimization tooling (QP solvers, CasADi, Acado, etc.)
  • Experience with Bazel or similar build systems for complex codebases
  • Working knowledge of vehicle dynamics like tire models, lateral/longitudinal dynamics, and load transfer
  • Comfort operating as an early team member—high ownership, low ego, fast iteration
Compensation
This role is eligible for base salary \+ benefits \+ equity 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.
