Robotics Software Engineer (Perception & Localization)
The Role
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. In addition, all of this happens fast, on compute running on the edge, in complex, real-world environments where our systems are subject to all sorts of conditions. We are looking for a 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
As an early employee, you'll receive generous equity compensation
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.
2+ 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.
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.
