Sr Robotics Engineer

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

• Develop simulation infrastructure in support of digital-twin simulation efforts, enabling testing and fast debug cycles.
• Define job site mapping workflow and develop tools to map job sites
• Work with related engineering teams to shape tool development for production or raw or semi-raw sensor inputs appropriate for simulation use cases
• Support and contribute to the development of C++ and Python robotics software.
• Design and support tools to visualize camera geometry, fields of view, and overlaps within multi-camera systems.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in a STEM discipline plus 5 years of related experience.
• Required skills:
  • Develop camera visibility models incorporating camera intrinsics, distortion correction, extrinsics, and mechanical tolerances using Blender and OpenCV (4 yrs).
  • Design and deploy distributed simulation systems using AWS cloud-based web services to enable scalable digital-twin environments with remote sensor data ingestion and real-time visualization (any amount of experience).
  • Define and extend onboard and machine-to-machine communications using MQTT and DDS middleware and Protobuf and OMGIDL message schemas for publish-subscribe and request-reply communication models (1 yr, 6 mos).
  • Develop real-time simulation tools utilizing ray tracing-based software to drive perception inputs (1 yr).
  • Create and maintain relevant Bazel build targets to support scalable, reproducible, and efficient builds for multiple compute architectures across complex codebases (1 yr)
  • 100% remote working allowed; can live anywhere in the US; periodic visits to the office required. Up to 10% domestic travel required for engineering testing.
