About Us

Agtonomy is a pioneering technology company that specializes in advanced automation and artificial intelligence solutions for the agriculture and industrial sectors. Our mission is to transform the way industries operate by leveraging cutting-edge technology to improve efficiency, safety, and sustainability.

About the Role

We are seeking a highly skilled Controls Engineer to join our Autonomy Team. As a key member of our team, you will be responsible for designing and developing controls algorithms for our autonomous tractor fleet and future platforms. You will work closely with our planning and localization engineers to design and evolve the upstream interfaces of the control systems. Additionally, you will collaborate with our embedded, hardware, and testing teams to safely and reliably validate the control of various actuators on our platforms.

Key Responsibilities

  • Designing closed-loop controllers to enable our tractors to operate safely and effectively, while compensating for uncertainty in system parameters and environmental disturbances.
  • Developing kinematics and dynamics models for our various vehicle platforms and corresponding implements.
  • Creating robust system identification algorithms and procedures to calibrate physical differences across the fleet, enabling the control systems to compensate for them.
  • Implementing parameter estimation algorithms to improve controls performance.
  • Designing and leading the execution of test scenarios in both simulation (software-in-the-loop) and on real vehicles (hardware-in-the-loop).
  • Architecting, designing, and implementing software applications, as well as onboard and offboard infrastructure and tools to support those applications.
  • Developing portable, scalable, and fast geometry and optimization libraries.
  • Writing performant, well-tested software, and improving code quality of the entire Autonomy team through code and design reviews.

Requirements

  • Theoretical knowledge and hands-on experience in classical control, adaptive control, nonlinear control, model predictive control, optimal control, robust control, and sliding mode control.
  • Strong proficiency in modern C++ and experience writing efficient algorithms for resource-constrained embedded systems.
  • Ability to thrive in a fast-moving, collaborative, small team environment with lots of ownership.
  • Excellent analytical, communication, and documentation skills with demonstrated ability to collaborate with interdisciplinary stakeholders outside of Autonomy.
  • An eagerness to get hands-on experience by testing code on real robots at real customer farms.

What We Offer

  • A competitive salary range of $160,000 to $220,000 per year.
  • Equity and benefits package.
  • Unlimited paid time off.
  • A collaborative work environment with passionate mission-driven colleagues.
