About us:

Harvested Robotics is building  AI-powered laser weeding machines  — precision robotic implements for tractors that eliminate weeds without chemicals. They operate in  heat, dust, vibration, and uneven terrain , on Indian farms. We’re a  small, obsessed team . We design, build, test, break, and fix real machines — fast.

Role Summary:

We are looking for a  Senior Robotics Systems Engineer who can  own the entire robotics system end-to-end  and  deliver a field-ready product immediately .

You will act as the  system owner  — designing the architecture, integrating subsystems, leading technical execution, and ensuring the robot works reliably in real-world conditions.

This is a  deeply hands-on leadership role . You will write code, integrate hardware, debug failures, and drive the robot from prototype to production.

Key Responsibilities

1. End-to-End System Architecture

• Own the  complete robotics system architecture  including sensing, compute, control, actuation, power, and communication.
• Design system  block diagrams, data flows, control flows, and interface definitions .
• Define mechanical, electrical, embedded, and software interfaces across subsystems.
• Make system-level trade-offs across  performance, latency, cost, reliability, and manufacturability .

2. System Integration & Bring-Up

• Lead  full system bring-up  from bare hardware to a working robot.
• Integrate perception, localization, navigation, and control pipelines.
• Debug cross-domain issues spanning  hardware, firmware, ROS nodes, networking, and power systems .
• Own  calibration procedures  (cameras, IMU, timing, extrinsics).

3. Perception, Localization & Control Integration

• Integrate AI-based perception outputs into  real-time robotic behavior .
• Implement and tune:
• Sensor fusion pipelines
• Localization and navigation systems (VIO / SLAM / GNSS-assisted)
• Ensure deterministic timing, synchronization, and low-latency control.
• Define and track system-level metrics (latency, FPS, drift, accuracy).

4. Embedded, Compute & Communication Systems

• Work closely with embedded engineers on MCU ↔ compute integration.
• Define communication architectures using  CAN, Ethernet, UART, SPI .
• Own edge compute architecture:
• Node placement
• CPU/GPU/RAM utilization
• Data logging and synchronization
• Ensure robustness under  power variation, thermal stress, EMI, and vibration .

5. Technical Leadership & Ownership

• Act as the  single technical owner  for the robot working end-to-end.
• Lead and unblock engineers across robotics software, embedded, and mechanical teams.
• Review system designs, wiring diagrams, code, and integration plans.
• Establish engineering discipline:
• Versioning and change tracking
• Integration checklists
• Documentation standards

6. Product Delivery & Field Readiness

• Translate product goals into  clear engineering milestones and execution plans .
• Lead lab and field testing cycles.
• Drive fast iteration based on field failures and real-world feedback.
• Ensure the system is repeatable, serviceable, and ready for pilot deployments and production.

Required Experience & Skills

Good to Have

• Experience with  outdoor, agricultural, or industrial robots .
• Experience debugging robots in  non-ideal field environments .
• Familiarity with system safety, fault handling, and diagnostics.
• Experience with simulation, HIL testing, or CI/CD for robotics.
• Exposure to systems engineering practices (V-model, MBSE).
