San Francisco, California, United States Orchard Robotics Full time

Orchard Robotics is a Series A startup backed by top VCs like Quiet Capital, Shine Capital, and General Catalyst. We're securing America's food supply by building the AI farmer that automates our nation's farms. We've raised over $25M in pursuit of our mission to help farmers farm more profitably and sustainably than ever before.

What We Do:

We start by collecting the most valuable data for farmers, telling them everything about what is growing on their millions of trees, across thousands of acres of farmland. We do this using advanced camera systems we build, that take pictures of every one of the billions of fruit in a farm. This data lives in our cloud data platform, FruitScope, that we've developed from the ground up to help farmers manage their crops with precision.

Farmers across the nation use our industry-leading software to look at their data, make critical decisions, and command farming operations on a daily basis. Our technology is used today across some of the largest farms in the nation.

The Role:

In order to analyze billions of fruit on farms all year long, our advanced, tractor-mounted camera systems have to know a.) precisely where they are, and b.) everything about the fruit they are seeing.

We are looking for a Senior Robotics Software Engineer to invent creative, practical, and robust solutions to real-world computer vision problems relating to perception and localization.

About the role: 

  • As an early engineer, you'll receive generous equity compensation

  • Full-time role at our San Francisco, CA office

  • Flexible working hours

  • Comprehensive Health, Vision, and Dental coverage, and we cover 100% of the premium

  • We move fast, and sometimes this means staying late or working weekends 

  • Our team is close-knit & highly driven, you'll work directly with our CEO and entire team

  • We're deeply motivated by the impact we're making – every line of code written or new system built means less food that goes to waste, and more people who are fed.

What you'll do:

  • Develop perception & localization algorithms for our advanced, tractor-mounted camera systems.

  • Implement intelligent algorithms to interpret complex, real-world data (each system collects terabytes of raw image data every day).

  • Fuse sensor data (stereo depth, GNSS, etc) to localize our camera system in a farm.

  • Optimize code for fast edge computing performance (Python, C++).

  • Be a generalist, supporting different parts of our software and hardware stack if needed.

What makes you a good fit:

  • 3+ years of relevant experience in industry or academia.

  • Expertise in one or more of the following areas: computer vision, stereo depth perception, pose estimation, object detection, multi-object tracking, image processing, robotics software.

  • Hands-on experience developing robotics software from the ground up.

  • Enthusiasm for taking on multiple roles and responsibilities as our company grows.

Bonus Points:

  • Experience deploying & optimizing robotics algorithms to run fast on embedded compute like NVIDIA Jetson.

  • Familiarity with fusing data from GNSS, IMU, depth, and other sensors.

If you're looking to help make a positive impact in the world by building the future of farming, come join us
