Sr. Robotics Software Job In Blue River Technology At Sunnyvale,

Sr. Robotics Software Engineer Details

Blue River Technology - Sunnyvale, CA

Employment Type : Full-Time

About Us

We're Blue River, a team of innovators driven to radically change agriculture by creating intelligent machinery. We empower our customers – farmers - to implement more sustainable solutions: optimize chemical usage, reimagining routine processes, and improving farming yields year after year. We believe that focusing on the small stuff – pixel-by-pixel and plant-by-plant - leads to big gains. By partnering with John Deere, we are innovating computer vision, machine learning, robotics and product management to solve monumental challenges for our customers.

Our people are at the heart of what we do. Through cross-discipline collaboration, this mission-driven and daring team is eager to define the new frontier of agricultural robotics. We are always asking hard questions, rapidly iterating, and getting our boots in the field to figure it out. We won't give up until we've made a tangible and positive impact on agriculture.

We are based in Sunnyvale, CA - but we are not contained to an office or our lab - the farm and field are also our playground. We are proud of our deeply collaborative culture at Blue River. We are a people-first company, and everyone here makes a tangible difference. We are passionate about what we're creating and can promise you, if you join, that your voice and contributions will matter. Are you ready to embark on the greatest adventure of your career?

Position Summary

As a Senior Robotics Software Engineer you will work with your teammates to deliver the first See & Spray product to market. The schedule is aggressive and the agricultural season waits for nothing and nobody. The system needs to meet the high performance and reliability standards that our customers expect and rely on. We tackle our objectives with cross functional engineering teams consisting of systems and embedded software, mechatronics, computer vision and machine learning engineers. These teams are empowered to figure out how to meet the challenges, plan and prioritize work - managers don't have all the answers. As a Senior Software Engineer you will also be responsible to provide guidance and coaching to junior engineers. You will play an active role in the planning process.

The machines that we are working on do real things in the field. Think of tractors as giant robots that you can ride on. Since we are a small company we can offer everyone the opportunity to experience the product live in the field. And we work very closely with our dedicated field engineers as well as our team of agronomists.

Required Skills:

You will need strong modern C++ skills to contribute to our linux based (soft) real time system. You are familiar with real life robotics applications (software, hardware, and humans). You have a holistic view of complex distributed systems. You enjoy developing algorithms and leveraging simulations to test them. You are a strong team player in an agile environment. You are customer obsessed.

Nice to have:

  • Spatial reasoning
  • Cuda
  • Python
  • Computer Vision
  • Any robotics related skill that is complementary to software engineering, like mechatronics.
  • Knowledge of publisher/subscriber based communication (ROS is an example, but note that we do not use ROS and you don't need to know ROS).
  • Bazel
  • CAN
  • Controls
  • Serialization libraries like protocol buffers and flatbuffers
  • Linux kernel
  • Typescript

Desired Professional Experience:

  • MS in a related field, 5 years of experience.
  • Able to provide guidance / coaching / mentoring to junior engineers.
  • Able to work with Product Management to deliver products to market.

Blue River offers competitive compensation and benefits, including a great 401(K) match. We believe in a work life balance and offer generous Paid Time Off and Sick Leave as well as Paid Parental Leave and an adoption benefit. Subsidized lunches, flexible work hours, CalTrain passes (with mobile Wi-Fi!) and a collaborative and supportive environment also contribute to making Blue River a great place to work.

We are committed to building a diverse team and encourage applications from people of all backgrounds.
