Software Engineer, Agtonomy

• This role is ideal for someone who loves combining math and software and is excited about enabling robots to operate intelligently in rugged environments
• Experience with robotic behavior planning techniques (e.g., graph search, behavior trees, state machines, policy learning, probabilistic planning, etc.)
• Experience effectively implementing and validating complex decision logic in software
• Demonstrated ability to ship production software for autonomous systems (e.g., AVs, drones, indoor robotics, etc.)
• Proficiency in modern C++ for resource-constrained systems
• Ability to thrive in a collaborative, fast-paced team with a strong sense of ownership
• Strong communication and problem-solving skills for cross-team work
• An eagerness to get your hands dirty by testing your code on real robots in real fields

Desirable

• As an engineer on the Autonomy Team, you will develop algorithms that enable our vehicles to translate complex farming tasks into autonomous behaviors
• You will enable autonomous tractors to make intelligent decisions, ensuring safe and efficient interactions with people, vehicles, and the environment
• You will work closely with perception, localization, and controls engineers on the team to design and evolve the decision making layers of the autonomy stack
• You’ll collaborate with product and field operations teams to define safe and effective behaviors for functionally-safe industrial machines
• Translate complex farming tasks and safety goals into autonomous behaviors
• Configure how autonomous systems execute tasks and define metrics for successful performance
• Define autonomous behaviors for interactions between vehicles, the work being done, and the environment
• Enhance robots’ ability to handle failure scenarios, correct inefficiencies, and compose low-level skills into high-level, goal-directed behaviors
• Work with product teams to help define requirements for how the robotic systems should operate
• Develop scalable software and tools for onboard/offboard autonomy systems
• Write high-performance C++ code for embedded systems and ensure quality through code reviews
• Test your algorithms on real robots in rugged field environments and see your code come to life

• Our interview process is generally conducted in five (5) phases:
