Autonomous field robots digitizing outdoor forests
At moss.inc, we are making the physical world searchable. Our sensor kits mount to vehicles our customers already drive, and turn every drive into a measured 3D record of their site, across agriculture, construction, and energy. Our AI models then parse through those 3D maps and decipher important information for each of our customers. We started with tree farms, where a single field holds millions of plants no human has ever fully inventoried. 🌲🤯🌳
We're a small team of practical engineers with a long-term vision. We focus on real, messy, on-the-ground problems today, while working toward a future where AI agents understand the physical world.
If our mission aligns with how you work and think, we'd love to learn more about you.
Join us as an Electrical Engineering Intern on a fast-moving team of seven. In this high-ownership role, you'll own the design and development of our next-generation sensor systems, from PCB design and circuit architecture to integrating autonomous vehicle hardware like LiDARs, cameras, GPS, and IMUs into production-ready sensor kits deployed to paying customers worldwide.
Work across the full hardware development cycle: prototyping new designs, bringing up and debugging circuits, writing firmware, collaborating with mechanical engineering on enclosures and mounting solutions, managing component sourcing and manufacturing partnerships, and field testing hardware with customers in real-world deployments.
We're looking for both a full time founding engineer, and intern candidates for co-ops, summer, and/or part-time roles.
Impressive real-world projects beyond the classroom
Strong systems architecture capability (able to define full electrical stack from power input to compute and sensors)
Deep PCB design experience (schematics, high-speed routing, power integrity, grounding strategy)
Experience designing power systems (DC-DC regulation, battery integration, power budgeting, protection, EMI considerations)
Experience with high-speed and mixed-signal design (USB, Ethernet, MIPI/CSI, CAN, UART, SPI, I2C)
Comfortable making first-principles engineering trade-offs, even with partial information
Firmware proficiency (C/C++) for board bring-up, microcontrollers, and peripheral integration
Strong experience integrating autonomous system hardware (LiDAR, cameras, GPS, IMUs, Jetson or similar compute platforms)
Experience working with manufacturers (DFM reviews, contract manufacturers, sourcing, production test strategy)
Own electrical architecture decisions, component selection, and PCB layout
Design and iterate on sensor integrated systems from concept to production
Collaborate with mechanical, perception and robotics teams to optimize hardware-software integration
Manage relationships with manufacturing partners and component suppliers
Lead design reviews internally and externally with suppliers and partners
Moss builds autonomous field robots to digitize the outdoor world, starting with tree farms where millions of plants are hard to count. The robots move through harsh outdoor environments to map and inventory plants, collecting data that makes the physical world searchable. The product works by deploying mobile robots with sensors to traverse fields, capture imagery and measurements, and compile it into a searchable digital inventory. Moss differentiates itself by tackling real, messy on-the-ground problems with a small, practical engineering team and a long-term plan to expand to other outdoor tasks, not just software. The goal is to make dangerous outdoor jobs safer and easier by using autonomous robots that can operate where humans won't.
