San Jose, United States Bonsai Robotics Full time
About Bonsai Robotics

Bonsai Robotics' mission is to create the next leap forward in agriculture equipment efficiency by creating a new ecosystem of semi-autonomous robotic machinery. Orchards are dusty, hazard-filled, and GPS-denied. The GPS-based autosteer features that have driven row crop efficiencies cannot function in orchards. Our vision, AI, and machine control systems offer human-level environment understanding and local navigation capabilities and will be the platform for a new wave of innovation in agricultural production and management systems. Our state-of-the-art technology empowers orchard managers to optimize their operations, dramatically reduce operational expenses, and increase profitability.

Job Overview:

Bonsai is seeking interns interested in robotics simulation. The ideal candidate will have familiarity and basic experience (through academics, internships, personal projects, etc) in shipping simulation software. In this role, you will help to enable Bonsai's core technology by providing a robust vehicle core software platform that can reliably deploy, run, and monitor the end-to-end software stack for agriculture and off-road robots.

Strong candidates will have:

  • Currently pursuing a Bachelor's degree or higher in computer science, mechanical, aerospace or any robotics related field
  • Previous experience in robotics or autonomous systems through internships, teams, clubs, previous jobs, etc
  • Previous experience in Gazebo or other simulators
  • Proficiency working on, deploying to, and configuring headless Linux systems
  • Proficient in Python and C++ with CMake
  • Experience with ROS2
Bonus points for experience with:
  • Delivering pure-C software
  • Docker
  • SystemD
  • Blender and CAD software such as Solidworks
  • AWS Cloud Infrastructure: S3, EC2, etc.
What you'll do:

Bonsai Robotics has identified short-term (3 - 6 months) projects that are suitable for all levels of intern experience. Possible project areas include:
  • Work as part of the Robotics/Platform team to help advance Bonsai's simulation software
  • Build plugins for the simulation environment
  • Improve build system, deployment, health monitoring, and process orchestration for the robot application through simulation
  • Build Developer Experience workflows in simulation to accelerate development and testing
  • Interface with Robotics, Computer Vision, and Cloud engineers to bring these systems together in simulation through consistent interfaces


Bonsai Robotics values diversity, inclusivity, and excellence in hiring, and we strongly encourage candidates from traditionally underrepresented backgrounds to apply. Join us in shaping the future of agriculture through cutting-edge technology and innovation.

The pay range for this role is:

20 - 30 USD per hour (All)
