Job description

Bonsai Robotics' mission is to create the next leap forward in agriculture equipment efficiency by creating a new ecosystem of semi-autonomous robotic machinery. Orchards are dusty, hazard-filled, and GPS-denied. The GPS-based autosteer features that have driven row crop efficiencies cannot function in orchards. Our vision, AI, and machine control systems offer human-level environment understanding and local navigation capabilities and will be the platform for a new wave of innovation in agricultural production and management systems. Our state-of-the-art technology empowers orchard managers to optimize their operations, dramatically reduce operational expenses, and increase profitability.

Job Overview

We are seeking a highly skilled Senior Robotics Software Engineer to develop software for off-road autonomous systems. The ideal candidate brings experience spanning multiple areas of autonomy. This candidate will unlock the potential of Bonsai’s Visionsteer technology and deliver value to end customers through safe and reliable systems.

What you'll do

  • Develop autonomy algorithms enabling precise, robust navigation of outdoor vehicles in variable terrain and degraded-GNSS environments.
  • Integrate sensors with hardware teams, selecting and calibrating the right systems for off-road operation.
  • Design, test, and maintain autonomy stack components for route following, obstacle avoidance, and safety-critical behaviors.

Validate via simulation and field testing, analyzing issues and rapidly deploying improvements.

  • Collaborate with field ops and customers, ensuring autonomy features address real‑world agricultural use cases.
  • Document code, algorithms, and specs; contribute to customer-facing technical materials.
  • Strong Candidates Will Exhibit The Following Key Traits
