About Bonsai RoboticsBonsai 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 OverviewWe are seeking a highly skilled Staff Robotics Software Engineer to develop software for off-road autonomous systems. The ideal candidate brings experience spanning multiple areas of autonomy. This candidate will unlock the potential of Bonsai’s Visionsteer technology and deliver value to end customers through safe and reliable systems.What you'll doProvide technical leadership across autonomy modules, mentor junior engineers, and help shape long-term autonomy architecture.Develop autonomy algorithms enabling precise, robust navigation of outdoor vehicles in variable terrain and degraded-GNSS environments.Integrate sensors with hardware teams, selecting and calibrating the right systems for off-road operation.Design, test, and maintain autonomy stack components for route following, obstacle avoidance, and safety-critical behaviors.Validate via simulation and field testing, analyzing issues and rapidly deploying improvements.Collaborate with field ops and customers, ensuring autonomy features address real-world agricultural use cases.Stay current with research in robotics and autonomous systems, and help translate innovations into practical deployments.Document code, algorithms, and specs; contribute to customer-facing technical materials.Strong Candidates Will Exhibit The Following Key TraitsMaster’s, or PhD in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Physics, or a related field, with 5+ years of industry experience, ideally in robotics or autonomous systemsProficiency in C++, Python, ROS2, and/or other robotics programming frameworksStrong background in at least one of: Calibration, Sensor Fusion, Planning, Control, or Collision Detection.Proven experience developing safety-critical software and delivering solutions for large-scale deployments.Hands-on experience with GPS, camera, LIDAR, and other sensors commonly used in autonomous platforms.Ability to work independently and collaboratively in multidisciplinary teams, with strong debugging, testing, and problem-solving skills, and excellent communication abilitiesBonsai Robotics is an Equal Employment Opportunity Employer.
