Position Description

Summary

We’re Blue River, a team of innovators driven to create intelligent machinery that solves monumental problems for our customers. We empower our customers – farmers, construction crews, and foresters – to implement safer and more sustainable solutions, driving increased profitability with less reliance on scarce labor. We believe that focusing on the small stuff – pixel-by-pixel and task-by-task – leads to big gains. 

Blue River Technology is based in Santa Clara, CA. 

Job Responsibilities

  • Develop simulation infrastructure in support of digital-twin simulation efforts, enabling testing and fast debug cycles.
  • Define job site mapping workflow and develop tools to map job sites
  • Work with related engineering teams to shape tool development for production or raw or semi-raw sensor inputs appropriate for simulation use cases
  • Support and contribute to the development of C++ and Python robotics software.
  • Design and support tools to visualize camera geometry, fields of view, and overlaps within multi-camera systems.

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in a STEM discipline plus 5 years of related experience.
  • Required skills:
    • Develop camera visibility models incorporating camera intrinsics, distortion correction, extrinsics, and mechanical tolerances using Blender and OpenCV (4 yrs).
    • Design and deploy distributed simulation systems using AWS cloud-based web services to enable scalable digital-twin environments with remote sensor data ingestion and real-time visualization (any amount of experience).
    • Define and extend onboard and machine-to-machine communications using MQTT and DDS middleware and Protobuf and OMGIDL message schemas for publish-subscribe and request-reply communication models (1 yr, 6 mos).
    • Develop real-time simulation tools utilizing ray tracing-based software to drive perception inputs (1 yr).
    • Create and maintain relevant Bazel build targets to support scalable, reproducible, and efficient builds for multiple compute architectures across complex codebases (1 yr)
    • 100% remote working allowed; can live anywhere in the US; periodic visits to the office required. Up to 10% domestic travel required for engineering testing.
