At Aigen, our mission is to accelerate the transition to regenerative agriculture—with a pesticide-free, solar powered robotics platform.
52% of agricultural land is degraded by current management practices, and 60-75% of original soil carbon has been lost in lands used for agriculture (according to the IPCC). Join us to make a real world impact at the confluence of cutting edge robotic technology, agriculture, AI, and climate! With $19M raised to date, we are backed by a suite of investors including NEA, GFC, AgFunder, Regen.vc, and Bessemer Ventures.
The Role: As a key member of the hardware development team at Aigen, you will develop electrical systems that ensure robust and reliable operations of our fleet of autonomous robots across multiple farms over multiple geographical regions. You will work closely with the mechanical engineers, software engineers, test engineers, and operations teams to capture needs, develop and ship solutions, and ensure functionality of those solutions across all scenarios and environments. You will be a key contributor to and driver of the development of new hardware system architectures for both the current and future generations of Aigen's vertically integrated custom robotics platform.
