Burro is the leading robotics company in the world by number of robots working outdoors in the field with real customers. Our mission is to free people from tedious work and solve the critical labor shortages faced by farmers and others that work outdoors.
To accomplish our mission, we need a world-class, diverse team where everyone feels comfortable sharing their ideas. With this in mind, we strive to create a work environment where every employee can be themselves and express their perspective – this enables us to deliver the most creative and innovative solutions to problems our customers face.
Headquartered in Philadelphia with an office in central California, and backed by top Agtech and autonomy investors, including S2G, Catalyst, Translink, Cibus, FPrime, Toyota Ventures, FFVC, Xplorer, and Radicle, Burro was created to solve the labor shortages facing farmers using robotics.
Like their namesake, the donkey - Burros are friendly, approachable, hard-working mobile robots. They can be described as Disney's Wall-E for agriculture and work outdoors. They function today, as computer vision based autonomous ground vehicles for carrying, towing, mowing, spraying and scouting.
We are seeking a highly motivated Robotics Software Engineer to join our growing team. The ideal candidate has a solid foundation in robotics, enjoys tackling complex technical challenges, is naturally curious and eager to learn.
We are looking for a teammate who shares our enthusiasm for working with collaborative robots made to handle the tedious and physically demanding parts of agricultural work, cares about delivering a high-quality user experience, and maintains a collaborative attitude that supports everyone they work with.
