Senior Robotics Software Engineer (Perception & Localization)

We start by building AI-powered camera systems that collect the most valuable data for farmers, telling them everything about what is growing on their millions of trees, vines, and plants, across thousands of acres of farmland.

Our state-of-the-art AI analyzes every one of the billions of fruit across a farm. We provide accurate yield estimates, fruit counts, size projections, disease detection, inventories, bloom maps, and more! All this data lives in our cloud platform, FruitScope OS, that we've developed from the ground up to enable farmers to manage their crop with precision.

Today, our technology is trusted by some of the largest farms in the nation. We are growing fast, and have the industry-leading product. Farmers use our software every day to make critical decisions and run more efficient, profitable operations.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
