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
The Supply Chain Manager drives the supply chain that turns Humble's autonomous vehicle designs into physical, deployable products. This role leads sourcing, procurement, supplier management, and materials planning across the mechanical, electrical, and electronic components that make up our vehicles and charging systems. The Supply Chain Manager also owns the commercial relationships with our strategic suppliers, negotiating on cost, terms, and long-term partnerships. Working at the intersection of engineering, operations, and manufacturing, the Supply Chain Manager ensures parts arrive on time, at target cost, and at the quality our programs demand across every stage of the product, from early prototype builds through production ramp. This is a hands-on role for someone who thrives in a fast-moving hardware startup and enjoys building scalable processes while keeping today's builds unblocked.
