Summary
We’re Blue River, a team of innovators driven to create intelligent machinery that solves monumental problems for our customers. We empower our customers – farmers, construction crews, and foresters - to implement safer and more sustainable solutions, driving increased profitability with less reliance on scarce labor. We believe that focusing on the small stuff – pixel-by-pixel and task-by-task - leads to big gains.
Blue River Technology is based in Santa Clara, CA.
Job Responsibilities
- Leads the design and implementation of complex full stack solutions, ensuring scalability, performance, and reliability.
- Identifies system inefficiencies and drives architectural improvements, ensuring high-quality deliverables across projects.
- Mentors junior engineers, providing technical guidance and support through coaching, code reviews, and knowledge sharing.
- Leads cross-functional collaboration efforts, ensuring seamless integration of features and adherence to product specifications.
- The employee participates in, and often leads, the design and development of software algorithms for intelligent agricultural robots/machines. Specifically, efforts are focused on improving the accuracy of and reducing the redundancy of commercial agricultural chemical applications used in the growing and cultivating of large-scale crops.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field plus 2 years of related experience.
- Required skills:
- Develop real-time capable software in C++ for Linux.
- Experience with benchmarking and improving jitter in end-to-end latency (1 yr).
- Use git and Bazel to build, test, and deploy vehicle software and firmware (1 yr).
- Develop pub-sub systems that interact with sensors and actuators on robotics systems via CAN and Ethernet (1 yr).
- Experience building end-to-end testing solutions for data-driven software, including unit, integration, HIL, and regression testing (1 yr).
- Implement vehicle software utilizing ROS and robotics software packages such as AOS, Flatbuffers, Protobufs (1 yr).
- May work remotely; periodic time in office required; must live within commuting distance of office.
- Up to 20% domestic and international travel required for in-field testing, data collection, R&D, and system deployments at customer sites.
The US annual base salary range for this position is $138,237 - $261,000, along with eligibility for Blue River’s bonus and benefit programs.

What We Do
We’re Blue River, a team of innovators driven to radically change agriculture by creating intelligent machinery. We empower our customers – farmers - to implement more sustainable solutions: optimize chemical usage, reimagining routine processes, and improving farming yields year after year. We believe that focusing on the small stuff – pixel-by-pixel and plant-by-plant - leads to big gains. By partnering with John Deere, we are innovating computer vision, machine learning, robotics and product management to solve monumental challenges for our customers. Our people are at the heart of what we do. Through cross-discipline collaboration, this mission-driven and daring team is eager to define the new frontier of agricultural robotics. We are always asking hard questions, rapidly iterating, and getting our boots in the field to figure it out. We won’t give up until we’ve made a tangible and positive impact on agriculture.
