At Aigen, our mission is to regenerate soil at a planetary scale—automated terraforming, with a solar powered robotics platform.

Your role will be to develop highly energy efficient electronics and sensors for our next generation solar powered robotics platform. You will own the electrical engineering systems. The ideal candidate will be a quick learner with the ability to understand complex systems, and have a creative approach to problem solving.

Come make a real world impact at the confluence of cutting edge robotic technology, AI, climate, and agriculture. 52% of agricultural land is degraded by current management practices. 60-75% of original soil carbon has been lost in lands used for agriculture (according to the IPCC).
