A strong willingness to participate in open field tests and validate the deployment of code in real-world robotic environments is essential.

Responsibilities:

• Design, develop, and maintain core robotic software components primarily using C++ within the ROS framework. This includes low-level embedded code development for control actions and sensor integration.
• Integrate and deploy applied machine learning models (developed in Python) into the C++-based robotic systems.
• Design and implement efficient cloud data pipelines for collecting, processing, and managing robotics-related data on Google Cloud.
• Collaborate closely with other engineers and scientists to architect and implement robust robotic solutions.
• Actively participate in open field tests to validate the performance and reliability of the deployed C++ and ML code on real robots in production environments.
• Maintain a strong awareness of the latest advancements in C++ for robotics, applied machine learning techniques relevant to robotics, and embedded systems development.
• Contribute to the testing, requirements gathering, and planning phases of robotic software development projects.

Qualifications:

• BS or MS degree in Robotics, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a closely related field with a strong software focus.
• 3+ years of professional experience in robotics software development with a strong emphasis on C++ and the practical application of machine learning.
• Extensive experience with ROS (Robot Operating System) development in C++, including communication protocols and integration with hardware.
• Proven experience in low-level embedded code development primarily using C++ for real-time control and interfacing with sensors and actuators.
• Experience in the practical application of machine learning models for robotics tasks, including training and deployment.
• Proficiency in C++, Python, Docker, Google Cloud, Git, and strong Software Engineering principles.
• Solid understanding of testing methodologies and experience in writing unit and integration tests for C++ and robotic software.
• Excellent communication and teamwork skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively in a multidisciplinary team.
• Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to perform effectively in a fast-paced startup environment.
• Willingness to participate in open field testing and validation in real-world conditions.

Benefits:

• Competitive salary and benefits package.
• Opportunity to work on cutting-edge robotics and applied machine learning projects within the exciting field of Agri-tech.
• Collaborative and supportive work environment.
• Commitment to Continuous Learning and Development (access to e-courses, dedicated time for personal development, team knowledge sharing initiatives, etc.).
