Robotics Software Engineer
FireFly Robotics, Inc.About the role
Robotics Software Engineer
Build software that drives autonomous robots in the real world.
FireFly Robotics is the world leader in autonomous fairway mowing — and we're growing. Since 2010, we've been engineering fully automated harvesters and robotic field mowers used daily on premier golf courses and sports turf facilities nationwide. Now we're looking for a Full Stack Web Developer to help build the command-and-control interface at the heart of our fleet operations.
AMP is our autonomous mowing platform. It maintains large green spaces used for golf and sports turf. Customers map boundaries, plan stripes, and set full mowing routes with QuickPlan software inside our FireLink platform. They place the mower in the field and start the plan from FireLink. AMP handles the rest. It delivers consistent, high-precision mowing, giving maintenance crews more time for higher-value work.
The Position
We are hiring a Robotics Software Engineer who enjoys solving real problems in real environments. You will help us deliver safe, reliable, centimeter-level mowing. Your work will touch controls, perception, localization, path planning, and command and control. You will lead one of these areas based on your strengths.
