About Nature Robots

Nature Robots is a disruptive robotics and AI startup dedicated to transforming agriculture through innovation. We are committed to developing cutting-edge solutions that support regenerative and sustainable farming practices, addressing the challenges posed by climate change, population growth, and the need for local food production.

The Opportunity

As a Robot Software Engineer, you will be instrumental in developing autonomous navigation and precision farming software. Your work will directly contribute to our full-stack, modular autonomy platform for complex agricultural environments. Join us in creating technology that empowers farmers and enhances sustainable food production.

Your Role

• Develop and optimize robot planning, control, and navigation software.
• Implement and improve Our Simultaneous Localization and Mapping approach and 3D LiDAR-based obstacle avoidance.
• Integrate sensor data (LiDAR, cameras, IMU, etc.) for real-time robot decision-making.
• Enhance autonomous global path planning in dynamic agricultural environments.
• Work with embedded systems and robotics middleware such as ROS 2.
• Conduct field tests to validate algorithms and improve real-world performance.
• Further development integration of a robot navigation system to autonomous agricultural robots using ROS 2, and Move Base Flex (MBF)
• Further development of row following and head land controllers for various environments as MBF controllers and integration in the corresponding BT.
• Implementation, integration, testing and documentation of the developed strategies into the existing solutions.

What you bring

• Master’s degree in computer science, robotics, engineering or a related field.
• Professional experience related to the development of an end-user product
• Strong skills in C++, Python, and ROS 2
• Experience with SLAM, motion planning, and perception.
• Hands-on experience with 3D LiDAR, depth cameras, and sensor fusion.
• Strong understanding of control algorithms and real-time computing.
• Experience in agricultural robotics is a plus but not required.
• Passion for sustainable agriculture and autonomous systems.

Our offer

• A meaningful role in a pioneering software & agri-tech startup making a real-world impact with real products.
• No corporate politics: Short decision-making paths, real responsibility from day one, and an extremely steep learning curve.
• Flexibility & Trust: Hybrid working, flexible working hours, and a culture based on trust rather than micromanagement.
• A meaningful role in a pioneering agri-tech startup making a real-world impact.
• We offer challenges every day and organic growth opportunities as the company scales.
• Corporate Benefit collection.
