Sr. Electrical Engineer, PCB Design
About The Position
The Carbon Robotics LaserWeeder™ uses advanced robotics, computer vision, AI/deep learning, and lasers to eliminate weeds with sub-millimeter accuracy without herbicides. This innovative solution reduces environmental impact, promotes soil health, and helps farmers address labor shortages and rising costs. Carbon Robotics is driving innovation with significant funding from prominent investors. As a Sr. Electrical Engineer, PCB Design, you will design the circuit boards that power our revolutionary products, creating everything from high-reliability embedded control boards to power electronics for harsh agricultural environments. Your role will involve rapid prototyping, optimizing for high-volume manufacturing, and potentially visiting farms to ensure product reliability and safety.
