Electrical Engineer Hardware Edge Compute

As a Electrical Engineer Edge Compute at Carbon Robotics be a key part of the team that designs and manages the distributed computing infrastructure that is the heart of our robots. You are responsible for the specification design vendor management integration and thermal/electrical management of the compute and network clusters. You’ll ensure our mobile platforms can survive the harsh vibrations dust and heat of the farm while maintaining peak processing performance. 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:

• Work in a fast-paced multi-disciplinary team to design revolutionary products
• Own the specification design/selection qualification and integration of high-performance compute and network modules.
• Lead testing of compute and networking hardware through environmental power quality and EMI/EMC qualification campaigns. 
• Interface with hardware vendors to source components define assembly work instructions and ensure quality of compute assemblies.  
• Quickly prototype troubleshoot and iterate solutions for electrical signaling issues PCIe/USB/Ethernet bottlenecks and hardware-level failures in the field

• 5+ years experience as an Electrical Engineer 
• Experience designing production embedded hardware with at least one full carrier board or SoM-based design taken to volume manufacturing
• Experience with PCIe Gen3/4 MIPI CSI-2 USB 3.x and DDR4/LPDDR5 design and testing
• Significant experience designing compute systems for harsh outdoor environments with intermittent connectivity
• Experience with Altium Designer
• Experience with low-level Linux systems including driver configuration device trees and board support packages (BSP) is a plus
• Experience with SolidWorks is a plus

• Experience with Jira is a plus
• Hands on experience in hardware debug and automated verification
• 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.
