At Aigen, our mission is to accelerate the transition to regenerative agriculture—with a pesticide-free, solar powered robotics platform.
 
Do you have a track record of solving complex engineering challenges and delivering incredible products? Join us to make a real world impact at the confluence of cutting edge robotic technology, agriculture, AI, and climate. 52% of agricultural land is degraded by current management practices, and 60-75% of original soil carbon has been lost in lands used for agriculture (according to the IPCC).
 
With $7M raised to date, we are backed by a suite of investors including NEA, GFC, AgFunder, and Bessemer Ventures
 
In this role you will be a champion for the design, development and test/integration of the system software stack. You will be collaborating with rest of the engineering team (Software, Electrical, Mechanical) to develop Aigen's scalable robotics platform. You will be working on developing and testing autonomous robot navigation algorithms and application development. The ideal candidate will be a quick learner with the ability to understand the entire software stack and debug complex problems that involves sensors, perception, networking, power management and operating system essentials.
 
Aigen celebrates diversity in all its forms, and is an equal opportunity employer
