Electrical Engineer

As an Electrical Engineer at Carbon Robotics you’ll be a key part of the team that designs and manages the eyes and ears of our robots.  You will lead the selection integration and validation of the sensors and industrial components that allow our Laserweeder and autonomous systems to navigate rugged agricultural environments. You’ll do whatever it takes - which might include going to the farm - to ensure our customers have reliable and safe products.

What you’ll do:

• Identify and evaluate high performance sensors (LiDAR Radar IMU GPS Cameras) and industrial and automotive components (PLCs power supplies automotive ethernet switches) to meet the rigorous demands of 24/7 farming.
• Own the hardware lifecycle of these COTS components. This includes everything from research vendor qualification trade studies mechanical and electrical integration software integration (with software engineering team) testing and in field support. 
• Work closely with the test engineers to define and execute component and integrated system qualification test plans to ensure our equipment can perform no matter the conditions.  
• Drive technical relationships with COTS suppliers and CM’s to ensure hardware availability and quality.
• Both lead and support key technical decision making through project planning and cross-functional problem solving
• Prototype debug and iterate electrical designs through hands-on testing and automated verification.

• 3+ years experience as an Electrical Engineer 
• Experience with LiDAR Radar cameras GNSS IMUs PLCs automotive ethernet and/or automotive cameras
• Experience with sourcing and qualifying components for high-reliability systems
• Experience with managing vendor and manufacturer relationships
• Experience with Altium Designer (v18+)
• Experience with component to wire harness design and integration
• Experience with with Capital a plus
• Hands on experience in hardware debug and automated verification
• Experience designing systems for harsh outdoor environments is a plus
• Experience with SolidWorks and Jira is a plus

• Demonstrated ability to work with a team to achieve timely objectives
• Awareness of industry standards and regulations (SAE ISO IPC etc.)
• Effective verbal and written communication skills and a desire to work in multidisciplinary teams
• BS+ in Electrical Engineering Mechanical Engineering or related field

What We Do

Carbon Robotics builds the industry-leading AI-powered LaserWeeder™ which combines computer vision AI deep learning technology robotics and lasers to identify crops versus weeds - and shoots the weeds with lasers. More than 100 of the world’s largest specialty crop growers have deployed LaserWeeders™ in North America Europe and Australia. This no-touch precision technology is effective day and night in over 100 crops in both organic and conventional farming. LaserWeeders™ are designed at Carbon Robotics headquarters in Seattle Washington and manufactured in our state of the art new manufacturing facility in Richland Washington. Carbon Robotics has raised $157 million in capital since 2018 from investors that include BOND NVentures (NVIDIA’s venture capital arm) Anthos Capital Fuse Venture Capital Ignition Partners Revolution Sozo Ventures and Voyager Capital. What’s it like working at Carbon Robotics? We are a no-nonsense team of passionate people with a bias for action. We know that our ability to execute on our ideas is what sets us apart. We do what we say we are going to do externally and internally. We trust our people to act independently and make practical real-world decisions.

Why Work With Us

The Carbon Robotics LaserWeeder™ implement uses precision computer vision and sophisticated AI to kill weeds with millimeter accuracy. Laserweeding delivers consistency that puts growers back in control of their schedules amid labor shortages chemical concerns and rising costs. For high-density crops laserweeding is the only automated solution.
