Quick facts
From the original posting
Unshakeable Resilience – Our customers feed millions of people, and our customers depend on us. We are ultra-hardworking, never give up, and we do whatever it takes.
Farmers First – Every team member spends at least a few days in the fields with our farmers each month.
In order to analyze billions of fruit on farms all year long, our advanced, tractor-mounted camera systems have to know a.) precisely where they are, and b.) everything about the fruit they are seeing.
We are looking for a Senior Robotics Software Engineer to invent creative, practical, and robust solutions to real-world computer vision problems relating to perception and localization.
About the role:
Full-time, in-person role at our San Francisco or Seattle office
Comprehensive Health, Vision, and Dental coverage, and we cover 100% of the premium
We move fast, and sometimes this means staying late or working weekends
Our team is close-knit & highly driven, you’ll work directly with our CEO and entire team
We’re deeply motivated by the impact we’re making – every line of code written or new system built means less food that goes to waste, and more people who are fed.
What you’ll do:
Develop robotics software that runs on our tractor-mounted, AI-powered camera systems, including advanced perception & localization algorithms.
Implement intelligent systems and processes to interpret complex, real-world data (each system collects terabytes of raw image data every day).
Fuse sensor data (stereo depth, GNSS, etc) to localize our camera system in a farm.
Optimize code for fast edge computing performance (Python, C++).
Be a generalist, supporting different parts of our software and hardware stack if needed.
What makes you a good fit:
Hands-on experience developing robotics software from the ground up.
4+ years of real-world industry experience in robotics, perception, or localization.
Expertise in one or more of the following areas: computer vision, stereo depth perception, pose estimation, object detection, multi-object tracking, image processing, robotics software.
Enthusiasm for taking on multiple roles and responsibilities as our company grows.
You like fast-paced environments where you have high ownership over your work.
Bonus Points:
Experience deploying & optimizing robotics algorithms to run fast on embedded compute like NVIDIA Jetson.
Familiarity with fusing data from GNSS, IMU, depth, and other sensors.
If you're looking to help make a positive impact in the world by building the future of farming, come join us!
