Role

Who you are

Understanding of robot configuration and free spacesUnderstanding of various existing planning techniques (sampling methods, graph search, and trajectory optimization, etc.)
Strong proficiency in modern C++ (11 or newer) test-driven development for resource-constrained embedded systems
Experience implementing math effectively in software as part of problems in geometric reasoning, optimization cost design, and motion modeling
Ability to thrive in a fast-moving, collaborative, small team environment with little supervision
Excellent analytical, communication, and documentation skills with demonstrated ability to collaborate with interdisciplinary stakeholders
Passion for sustainable agriculture and electric vehicle development

Desirable

Contributions to geometric, sampling or optimization-based planning algorithmsKnowledge of computational geometry
Experience driving planning solution selection through capturing and optimizing system metrics
Experience modeling challenging planning problems through simulation5+ years of experience of software development in autonomy, robotics or related field
MS or PhD in Robotics, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related field

What the job involves

You will be responsible for the planning software of new and existing autonomous vehicle systems through the entire product lifecycle. You will coordinate with other hardware, software, program management, and business teams to design, implement, and iterate on solutions
Design and implement new approaches to help our vehicles plan its way through challenging situations safely and intelligently
Predict the behavior of objects in the environment to improve overall vehicle driving performance and safety
Architect, design, and implement software applications, infrastructure, and tools
Development of reusable geometry and optimization engines and libraries
Write performant, well-tested software, and improve code quality through code and design reviews

Our take

While trillions of dollars are spent on developing autonomous passenger vehicles, core industries such as agriculture haven’t been getting the same kind of attention. This is where Agtonomy steps in, supplying software that turns tractors and other equipment into autonomous machines, enabling cost-saving remote modes of operation.

Agtonomy differs itself from its competition by primarily meeting the needs of local farmers as opposed to big farms. In line with this, its autonomous vehicles will cost around $50,000, which is a far cry from the $500,000-$1 million price tag typical in the industry.

In 2023, the company expanded its customer pilot program in a step towards a full commercial launch. It has since continued to raise funding, the latest of which will support accelerated growth and market expansion in the coming years.
