Our people are at the heart of what we do. Through cross-discipline collaboration, this mission-driven and daring team is eager to define the new frontier of agricultural robotics. We are always asking hard questions, rapidly iterating, and getting our boots in the field to figure it out. We won’t give up until we’ve made a tangible and positive impact on agriculture.
We are based in Sunnyvale, CA - but we are not confined to an office or our lab - the farm and field are also our playground. We are proud of our deeply collaborative culture at Blue River. We are a people-first company, and everyone here makes a tangible difference. We are passionate about what we’re creating and can promise you, if you join, that your voice and contributions will matter. Are you ready to embark on the greatest adventure of your career?
Position Summary:
Off-road agricultural autonomy represents a significant opportunity for Blue River and John Deere. With the launch of our first autonomous tractor at CES in 2021, we’re just getting starting. As part of the vehicle autonomy test and evaluation team, you will be the tech lead for defining, curating, and managing datasets of images, sensor data, and scenarios that are designed to increase the trust and safety of autonomy. You will work closely with our data engineers and field data capture technicians to mine current fleet data and identify open needs. In this role, you will work with members of your team to define frameworks for cataloging and searching scenario based data to serve multiple stakeholders including our computer vision and robotics teams. A key attribute is curiosity and passion for exploring a domain space, creating organization, and providing insights to engineering and product leaders. Our team is empowered to figure out how to overcome challenges, plan and prioritize work – everyone is a key contributor.
