Autonomous Software Developer

AGCO • Winnipeg, MB

3d • Onsite

About The Position

Solutions for Every Season. We engineer and deliver precision agriculture hardware, software, and cloud-based platforms that connect every corner of the farm. Autonomous and precision agriculture is transforming how we grow more with less effort, reduce environmental impact, and address labor shortages while supporting sustainable growth. If you are excited by the opportunity to help shape the future of agricultural machinery, this could be the role for you. We are seeking an Autonomous Software Developer to help build, integrate, and validate the software systems that power autonomous agricultural machines. This role is ideal for a technically strong engineer who enjoys understanding complex systems, solving difficult real-world problems, and working across disciplines to deliver reliable products. Unlike traditional software development roles that focus on a single component or technology, this position requires a broad systems perspective. You will work across autonomy, robotics, controls, perception, embedded systems, simulation, and machine interfaces to ensure the overall system functions reliably under real-world conditions.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Robotics, Mechatronics, or a related field, with 3+ years of experience in robotics, autonomous vehicles, industrial automation, agricultural equipment, or other complex systems
• Experience in Linux, Docker, and ROS2 environments, and exposure to modern development practices including CI/CD, test automation, and agile development
• Strong software development skills (preferably in C++) combined with strong analytical and problem-solving abilities
• Experience debugging complex technical systems, with the ability to understand interactions between multiple subsystems and reason about system-level behaviour
• Strong communication and collaboration skills, along with curiosity, initiative, and a willingness to learn new technologies and domains
• Strengths in one or more of the following areas: robotics and autonomous systems; ROS2 and distributed software architectures; simulation and test automation; embedded Linux development; machine control systems; path planning, behaviour planning, and navigation; computer vision, perception, and sensor fusion; system verification and validation; and safety-critical or real-time systems.

Responsibilities

• Develop, integrate, and support software components used in autonomous agricultural systems, and contribute to system reliability and performance
• Investigate and troubleshoot complex system-level issues across software, hardware, networking, sensors, controllers, and cloud services
• Analyze machine data, logs, and system behaviour to identify root causes and implement improvements
• Design and implement algorithms, tools, and automation solutions to enhance reliability, safety, and operational efficiency
• Support system integration and contribute to simulation, testing, verification, validation activities, and continuous improvement of engineering processes and tooling

Benefits

• Three (3) weeks of vacation per year.
• Employee Stock Purchase Plan offering eligible employees the ability to purchase AGCO stock at a discounted price.
• Group retirement plan with employer match.
• Group insurance paid at 75% by the employer.
• Employee Assistance Program.
