South San Francisco, California, United States Agtonomy Full time
About Us

At Agtonomy, we're pioneering the future of agriculture and beyond through advanced automation and AI solutions. Our innovative TeleFarmerTM platform addresses labor-intensive needs by turning conventional equipment into autonomous machines. By partnering with leading manufacturers like Doosan Bobcat, we integrate smart technology into tractors and other machinery, enhancing safety and efficiency. As we expand into ground maintenance and other industrial applications, our expert team continues to address key challenges with labor shortages, sustainability, and profitability across various industries.

About the Role

As a Controls Engineer on the Autonomy Team, you will be responsible for developing controls algorithms for our existing fleet of automated tractors as well as for future platforms. You will work closely with planning and localization engineers on the team to design and evolve the upstream interfaces of the control systems. Your expertise will be crucial in ensuring the safe and reliable operation of our platforms. This role is perfect for someone who loves combining math and software, and is excited about applying their experience to make robots drive in smart ways in rugged, agricultural environments.

  • We're looking for someone who can design closed-loop controllers enabling the tractors to drive and get work done 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 is another key responsibility.
  • You will create 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 is also an essential task.
  • You'll design and lead 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 is a critical aspect of this role.
  • Developing portable, scalable, and fast geometry and optimization libraries is another exciting challenge.
  • You will write performant, well-tested software, and improve code quality of the entire Autonomy team through code and design reviews.
