About the Role
Join our world-class robotics team as we revolutionize horticulture automation. Whether you're a recent graduate eager to make your mark or an experienced engineer looking for your next challenge, you'll work on cutting-edge autonomous systems that combine advanced perception, precise manipulation, and intelligent decision-making to perform complex agricultural tasks like harvesting, deleafing, and crop monitoring.
As a Robotics Engineer at eternal.ag, you'll be part of a high-performance culture that values first-principles thinking and rapid iteration. Our unique approach leverages cloud-based simulation, over-the-air updates, and modular hardware design to achieve what others have spent decades attempting. We believe in nurturing talent at all levels - from fresh graduates to seasoned professionals.
You'll collaborate with a distributed team across our Cologne HQ and Bengaluru office, building on proven technology while pushing the boundaries of what's possible in agricultural robotics.
What You'll Do
- Design and implement robust robotics software using ROS2 and modern C++ for autonomous navigation, manipulation, and perception in dynamic greenhouse environments
- Develop and validate algorithms in NVIDIA Isaac Sim before deploying to our fleet of robots, dramatically reducing development cycles from months to days
- Create intelligent systems that enable robots to make real-time decisions about crop work, from identifying ripe tomatoes to determining optimal cutting points
- Build resilient architectures that ensure continuous operation even with connectivity disruptions, supporting our 24/7 autonomous operations
- Integrate computer vision models with robotic control systems to enable exact manipulation of delicate crops without damage
- Implement over-the-air update systems that allow us to deploy new capabilities remotely to robots worldwide
- Collaborate cross-functionally with AI/ML engineers, mechanical engineers, and crop scientists to
