Bonsai Robotics
Bonsai provides vision-based automation solutions to combat growers’ biggest challenge: the labor crisis.About Bonsai Robotics
Bonsai Robotics' mission is to create the next leap forward in agriculture equipment efficiency by creating a new ecosystem of semi-autonomous robotic machinery. Orchards are dusty, hazard-filled, and GPS-denied. The GPS-based autosteer features that have driven row crop efficiencies cannot function in orchards. Our vision, AI, and machine control systems offer human-level environment understanding and local navigation capabilities and will be the platform for a new wave of innovation in agricultural production and management systems. Our state-of-the-art technology empowers orchard managers to optimize their operations, dramatically reduce operational expenses, and increase profitability.
Job Overview:
Bonsai is seeking interns interested in robotics simulation. The ideal candidate will have familiarity and basic experience (through academics, internships, personal projects, etc) in shipping simulation software. In this role, you will help to enable Bonsai's core technology by providing a robust vehicle core software platform that can reliably deploy, run, and monitor the end-to-end software stack for agriculture and off-road robots.
What you'll do:
Bonsai Robotics has identified short-term (3 - 6 months) projects that are suitable for all levels of intern experience. Possible project areas include:
Work as part of the Robotics/Platform team to help advance Bonsai’s simulation software
Build plugins for the simulation environment
Improve build system, deployment, health monitoring, and process orchestration for the robot application through simulation
Build Developer Experience workflows in simulation to accelerate development and testing
Interface with Robotics, Computer Vision, and Cloud engineers to bring these systems together in simulation through consistent interfaces
Qualifications:
Currently pursuing a Bachelor's degree or higher in computer science, mechanical, aerospace or any robotics related field
Previous experience in robotics or autonomous systems through internships, teams, clubs, previous jobs, etc
Previous experience in Gazebo or other simulators
Proficiency working on, deploying to, and configuring headless Linux systems
Proficient in Python and C++ with CMake
Experience with ROS2
Bonus points for experience with:
Delivering pure-C software
Docker
SystemD
Blender and CAD software such as Solidworks
