Autonomy Development Hardware Lead

• Own the ATK hardware system end-to-end, including architecture, integration, reliability, and cross-functional alignment.
• Provide a clear technical vision and develop detailed product development plans in coordination with engineering leadership.
• Drive engineering development cycles including risk mitigation, rapid prototyping, root-cause analysis, and field issue resolution.
• Mentor the hardware engineering team and collaborate closely with mechanical, electrical, software, autonomy, and manufacturing teams.

This role directly contributes to the development of the LaserWeeder, which eliminates weeds without herbicides, reducing environmental impact, promoting soil health, and helping farmers address labor shortages and rising costs.

• Proven experience leading integrated hardware project engineering teams that have shipped complex physical products.
• Strong preference for startup or small-company experience with ownership, speed, and adaptability.
• System-level design experience with vehicle electrical systems, off-highway systems (hydraulics, electromechanical assemblies, vehicle controls), and CAD (Solidworks).
• Experience working across sensors, compute modules, power systems, harnessing, and ruggedized enclosures.

Competitive salaries, pre-IPO stock options, fully-paid medical/dental/vision insurance for employee and dependents, mental health HRA, flexible PTO, 401(k) plan, and more. Base salary range: $180,000 - $200,000 USD.

Carbon Robotics builds the LaserWeeder, an advanced robotic system that uses computer vision, AI, and lasers to eliminate weeds without herbicides, reducing environmental impact and improving farming efficiency.
