We are creating a fleet of intelligent courier robots to reliably and securely transport everything that people need and want in a way that is accessible to everyone. We operate these robots as a transport service. Our robots are perfectly suited to transport the essentials including groceries, meals, medicine, and goods. Our first step is to do this well for cities.

Why join us?

Incredible opportunity — The advent of autonomous transportation will be one of the most dramatic changes to humanity over the next few decades. Cities are the lifeblood of economies and we’re redefining how they move things around. The impact alone of transporting things we would normally fetch (food, groceries, medicine, things) is measured in the 10’s of billions of human minutes per day.
Fast product development and engineering progress We move fast. In less than 2 years we went from idea to operating prototypes in a real customer setting.
Team with deep industry experience Our team has pioneered self-driving cars, developed autonomous transportation drones, and put satellites in space.
Visible and tangible product — This is the first time in history that robots will operate in a public space in a meaningful way. Long have they been relegated to swinging metal in factories and cleaning floors in homes. Our robots will redefine what a modern robot means.

Your product will be seen by everyone that lives in cities on a daily basis doing things that are relevant and meaningful to any humans you may know.

Engineering at Marble

Engineering team and processes

Our engineering team uses an agile methodology driven by combined hardware-software milestones. Milestones are due on a quarterly schedule. These milestones feed backlogs that drive two-week sprints.

We are product and customer focused. Milestones are designed to launch products for customers and develop new capabilities that expand our autonomy capability. To do this, we use a continuous integration methodology that integrates data playback, simulation, and robots in the field to validate the software.

Technical Challenges

We’re building a small robot (electric vehicle) from the ground up. We’re making it drive itself. We’re pioneering a new social interaction.

These challenges, while tractable, are Everest size. If this speaks to you, enquire within.

Projects you might work on

Prototype and productize a world-class teleoperation system which enables operators to remotely drive robots from many miles away. Together we'll build a virtual cockpit incorporating rich sensor data to make remote robot driving safe and intuitive.
Influence the Marble web architecture and connectivity stack on the next generation of robots.
Help us build a scalable backend and fluid user-friendly interfaces for managing a growing fleet of self-driving robots.
