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. The US annual base salary range for this position is $187,762 - $228,000, along with eligibility for Blue River’s bonus and benefit programs. Please visit to apply. #LI-DNI
