Join us at Verdant Robotics as we revolutionize agriculture through robotics and AI. We use computer vision and machine learning to understand every part of every plant at a massive scale -- and with automated robotics, we close the loop and act on that information in real-time. Our unique digital-twin and mm-accurate spraying technology unlocks phenomenal increases in productivity and efficiency - helping farmers grow more profitability with less inputs, realizing savings from day one.

Verdant Robotics aims to lead the second agricultural revolution with our AI-powered computer vision platform. We are looking for Software, Mechanical, and IT interns with an interest in field robotics to help in the development of our entire system.

During your internship, you will be responsible for creating and maintaining algorithms, test infrastructure and software tools used to design, build and control code for mobile robotics platforms and industrial machines, deploy the code in a C/C++ environment on-board the robot, develop tools for analyzing performance both during testing and in the field, test and debug your code on the robot, and make improvements to our data and training pipelines. We’re open to candidates of varying experience levels, but working knowledge of C/C++ is required.

Our core technology empowers farmers to grow more profitable food. We use computer vision and artificial intelligence to understand every part of every plant at a massive scale -- and with automated robotics, we close the loop and act on that information in real-time. We are leaders in robotics, computer-vision, and machine learning. Together with our partners, we are building environmentally-friendly, sustainable and highly productive farms.

Our office is located in Hayward, CA about 25-30 mins average commute from most places in the Bay Area. We offer competitive pay and a great team environment. Verdant Robotics is an innovation-based essential company and requires on-site attendance. This is NOT a remote position.
