Role

Who you are

Strong proficiency in C++11 (or newer) development for resource constrained embedded systems
5+ years of experience in software development for problems involving state of the art computer vision, machine learning and robotic perception techniques
Experience handling large datasets efficiently
Experience curating synthetic and real-world image datasets
Experience building algorithms for various hardware sensors (eg, LiDAR, camera, radar, etc.)
Strong mathematical skills and understanding of probabilistic techniques
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 energy and electric vehicle development
Experience with real-time sensor fusion, and 3D data representations (pointclouds, meshes, etc.)
Experience with parallel processing using hardware building blocks (CUDA, DLAs, etc.)
Experience building and expanding ML model architectures
Experience with compute constrained pipelines and architectures, optimizing architectures to explore the accuracy vs. compute tradeoff
Master’s or PhD in Robotics, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, related field or equivalent industry experience

What the job involves

We are looking for enthusiastic software engineers to join our Autonomy team
You will be responsible for the perception, ML, and CV 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
This position will be in our South San Francisco office with our testing grounds in Sonoma County
Apply first principles, applied theory and machine learning to solve challenging perception problems for autonomous systems (e.g. object detection, semantic segmentation, instance segmentation, dense depth, optical flow, tracking, etc.)
Refine and optimize models for low-latency on embedded hardware
Characterize and quantify the performance of the vision systems
Research, prototype, and experiment with various sensors, algorithms and approaches
Architect, design, and implement software applications, infrastructure, and tools
Write performant, well-tested software, 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.
