Software Engineer, Localization

Agtonomy is at the forefront of agricultural innovation, developing cutting-edge automation and AI solutions through their TeleFarmer™ platform. They're transforming conventional farming equipment into autonomous machines, partnering with industry leaders like Doosan Bobcat to integrate smart technology into tractors and other machinery.

As a Localization Engineer on the Autonomy Team, you'll play a crucial role in developing state-of-the-art estimation algorithms that enable tractors to accurately determine their position and orientation. This position combines advanced mathematics with software engineering, focusing on creating robust solutions for challenging agricultural environments.

The role demands expertise in state estimation algorithms, sensor fusion, and modern C++ programming. You'll work on implementing features for pose estimation, designing fallback strategies, and creating sensor calibration routines. The position offers hands-on experience with real-world autonomous systems, allowing you to see your solutions in action on actual farms.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone with a strong technical background (MS or PhD preferred) and 5+ years of experience in robotics or autonomy. The position offers competitive compensation ($160,000-$220,000), comprehensive benefits, and equity options. You'll be joining a collaborative team working on meaningful technology that addresses critical challenges in agricultural automation and sustainability.

Working in a hybrid environment in the San Francisco Bay Area, you'll collaborate with perception, planning, and controls engineers while having the unique opportunity to field-test your solutions in real agricultural settings. This role is perfect for someone passionate about combining cutting-edge robotics with practical applications in sustainable agriculture.
