About the role

About Humble Robotics Working at Humble Robotics means taking on the biggest change in ground transportation in decades.
We don't believe culture can be engineered - but when it falls into place, it's a once-in-a-lifetime adventure.

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.
Drive safety-critical architecture and design decisions: fault handling, monitoring/diagnostics, degraded modes, minimal-risk behaviors, and interface assumptions.
Ensure traceability from requirements to tests to results, and produce clear safety evidence packages for internal reviews and external partners.
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.

Strong track record owning safety artifacts through major milestones: hazard analyses, safety requirements, verification strategies, and safety evidence.

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.
