Tespen Robotics is building the autonomous driving layer for public transportation.
Founded at UC Berkeley and headquartered in San Francisco (part of Antler SF02 cohort), we are developing Level 4 autonomous driving software for public transit and city-service vehicles
, starting with fixed-route operations.
Instead of building another autonomous vehicle from scratch, Tespen is taking a
retrofit-first, hardware-agnostic approach
: we are building an autonomy stack that can be deployed on the fleets cities and transportation operators already own.
Public transportation is one of the largest and most operationally constrained mobility systems in the world. It is also facing a structural shortage of drivers, rising operating costs, and increasing pressure to provide more frequent and reliable service. We believe autonomy can fundamentally change the economics of running these networks.
Our technology combines
perception,
localization, planning, control, simulation, and vehicle integration
into a route-based autonomy platform designed for repeatable real-world deployment.
Tespen works with public-transit operators, research institutions, technology partners, and public-sector organizations across the United States and Europe. Italy is becoming one of our primary engineering and testing environments as we move from simulation toward deployment on real vehicles.
We are now building the engineering team that will turn that vision into a production autonomous driving system.

We are looking for a
Founding Robotics Engineer
to help build the core technology of Tespen from the ground up.
This is not a narrowly scoped engineering position. You will work directly with the founders, take ownership of critical parts of the autonomy stack, and help make fundamental de
