Senior Robotics Software Engineer (Perception & Localization)

About 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. 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.

• 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.

Our Culture

• 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.
• Always Keep Moving – We move fast, waste no time, and have an extreme bias towards action. Progress compounds every day, and our impact is measured in decades.
• Improve Everything – At 1% success, we save millions of pounds of food from going to waste. If we are 100% successful we will impact the lives of billions of people across the world.
• Farmers First – Every team member spends at least a few days in the fields with our farmers each month.
• No Job Beneath Us – We’re low ego, own every outcome, and are all working towards the same goal.
