Join the EarthSense Team!
EarthSense is on a mission to heal our planet by creating a new class outdoor robots enabling regenerative agriculture on farms around the world!
Through advanced mechatronics, design, and cutting edge autonomy and machine-learning, our teams of robots are optimized to work in the dynamic and challenging field environments.
We are growing our team of innovators and looking for individuals who want to do cutting edge work in machine learning, machine vision, robotics, industrial design, UI/UX, and edge computing.
As a result of our rapid innovation and traction, we are one of six Microsoft FarmBeats Hub Launch Partners, one of four startups from around the world invited by John Deere to be a 2020 Startup Collaborator, and one of two startups that are part of the nationwide USDA Partnerships for Data Innovation.
We have a major grant from the USDA Climate Smart Commodities Initiative, helping sequester carbon and improve climate resiliency of farmland, by planting cover crops with robots!
Ideal EarthSense team members have a passion for agriculture, robotics, AI, and a strong drive to do work that really matters. If you have a proven track record (experience, code repos, publications, or education) in these areas, get in touch!
BTW, we are located in the best place in the world for creating cutting edge AgTech - Champaign-Urbana, Illinois.
Urbana-Champaign is a vibrant micro-urban community of 250K plus residents.
With award winning restaurants, top-notch breweries and pubs, leading art museums, and a thriving art scene, the community has so much to offer at a great value. Our K-12 public schools are top-notch.
With the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign’s top ranking engineering programs and the host of programs at Parkland college, there are plenty of opportunities for world-class higher-education, not to mention great campus-town life.
To top it all, the average commute time is less than 15 minutes!
Welcome to Champaign-Urbana, a thriving tech-hub that is changing the world!
