Job Description

Orchard Robotics is a Series A startup backed by top VCs. We're securing America’s food supply by building the AI farmer that automates our nation’s farms. 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.

Job Responsibility

  • 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

Requirements

  • 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

Nice to have

  • 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

What we offer

  • Generous equity compensation
  • Flexible working hours
  • Comprehensive Health, Vision, and Dental coverage, and we cover 100% of the premium
