Robotics Software Engineer (Perception & Localization)

Summary

Orchard Robotics is a Series A startup focused on securing America’s food supply through AI technology. The Robotics Software Engineer will develop software for AI-powered camera systems, addressing complex perception and localization challenges in agricultural settings.

Responsibilities

• 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

Skills

• 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
• 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
