At Aigen, we believe in a future with no harmful chemicals in our food.
The Role
The Senior Software Engineer will design, develop, and maintain software for robotics, focusing on embedded systems, cloud integration, and image processing while collaborating with cross-functional teams.
Summary Generated by Built In
At Aigen, our mission is to accelerate the transition to regenerative agriculture—with a pesticide-free, solar powered robotics platform.
52% of agricultural land is degraded by current management practices, and toxic chemical pesticides are sprayed and then consumed in the food we eat. Join us to make a real world impact at the confluence of cutting edge robotic technology, agriculture, AI, and climate! With $19M raised to date, we are backed by a suite of investors including NEA, GFC, AgFunder, Regen.vc, and Bessemer Ventures.
The Role: Are you passionate about software development and eager to contribute in a way that will shape systems from early stages? Join our team and be a driving force in advancing the heart of our robot software stack. We are on a mission to address challenging real-world problems, and we need creative and dedicated developers like you to help us build our robotics platform.
Collaborate with cross-functional teams to design, develop, and maintain the robot software framework. Debug and troubleshoot software and hardware issues, working hand-in-hand with the testing and hardware teams to ensure seamless software integration.
The responsibilities will be wide and varied. The ideal candidate will be a quick learner with the ability to understand complex systems, and have a creative approach to problem solving.
Aigen celebrates diversity in all its forms, and is an equal opportunity employer
