Job Description
Robotics Engineer - Winterleap
Winterleap is a startup building a new class of agricultural machine: a winter-operating field implement that uses controllable non-ionizing radiation, sensing, control systems, and agronomic intelligence to treat weeds and pests in frozen soil before the growing season begins.
We are looking for a highly capable, hands-on Robotics Engineer, who wants to work on difficult physical systems, not just simulations or software abstractions. At Winterleap, you will help turn technology into a functional field product. You will work close to the hardware, close to the field, and close to the core technical decisions.
What you will work on
You will help design and develop, program, integrate, and validate advanced control systems for an agricultural machine operating in frozen soil conditions. This includes work across:
- Embedded software and machine control, user interface
- Sensor integration and data acquisition
- State machines, safety logic, and fault handling
- Instrumentation for field testing and validation
- Communication between subsystems
- Debugging hardware and software in real operating conditions
- Control algorithms, data analysis
The system has to be tested in the workshop, on the machine, and in the field.
Requirements
- You have strong programming skills in C, C++, or similar embedded/system-level languages.
- You possess experience with embedded systems, sensors, actuators, instrumentation, or machinery.
- You have a practical understanding of control systems, state machines, safety logic, and fault handling.
- You demonstrate the ability to debug across software, electronics, and mechanical systems.
- You maintain a structured approach to testing, documentation, and problem solving.
