Description
Join us at Verdant Robotics as we revolutionize agriculture through robotics and AI. We use computer vision and machine learning to understand every part of every plant at a massive scale -- and with automated robotics, we close the loop and act on that information in real-time. Our unique digital-twin and mm-accurate spraying technology unlocks phenomenal increases in productivity and efficiency - helping farmers grow more profitability with fewer inputs, realizing savings from day one.
As a Software Engineer, you will be responsible for creating and maintaining algorithms, test infrastructure and software tools used to design, build and control for mobile robotics platforms and industrial machines, deploy the code in a C/C++ environment on-board the robot, develop tools for analyzing performance both during testing and in the field, test and debug your code on the robot, and make improvements to our data and training pipelines. We’re open to candidates of varying experience levels, but working advanced knowledge of C/C++ is required. Most importantly, you should be driven to make an impact with your work by rapidly reaching the market with a new robotic system doing useful work for paying customers. Most of us at Verdant have worked at self-driving car companies (Google/Waymo, Zoox, Cruise) and realize that we can make an impact and a profitable business on a much shorter timescale with field robotics.
Our core technology empowers farmers to grow more profitable food. We use computer vision and artificial intelligence to understand every part of every plant at a massive scale -- and with automated robotics, we close the loop and act on that information in real-time. We are leaders in robotics, computer-vision, and machine learning. Together with our partners, we are building environmentally-friendly, sustainable and highly productive farms.
Our office is located in Hayward, CA about 25-30 mins average commute from most places in the Bay Area. We offer competitive pay and a great team environment.
