We are searching for a Software System Engineer C++ to join our growing agtech startup in Salmon Arm, BC.

Join a team at the forefront of technological innovation in mushroom harvesting as we build robots to address critical labour shortages and build a more sustainable food future.

This unique role offers an opportunity to innovate within an energetic startup environment and help shape the future of agriculture with cutting-edge machine learning/deep learning vision models.

You will gain experience in all stages of the software development lifecycle and be part of the global solution to bringing the power of AI into the real world.

Our System Software Engineer is a critical team member responsible for the development, integration and configuration of the on-robot software services that support our machine learning/ deep learning vision models.

This is an opportunity to join a team at the initial stages of taking our farm-proven robotics products to market.

As a System Software Engineer, you will get to:
Collaborate in an agile software development environment with Developers, Designers, and Project Managers.
Fuse output of multiple vision Machine Learning models using OpenCV.
Use your expertise in debugging C++ code on Linux platforms to identify and resolve complex technical issues efficiently.
Design, develop, and maintain software applications that leverage middleware messaging services for seamless communication between distributed systems.

Collaborate with ML/DL engineers to integrate vision models into the robot's software ecosystem, ensuring seamless operation and real-time performance.

Optimize existing computer vision algorithms for speed and accuracy.
Work closely with hardware teams to tailor software solutions for specific edge devices and industrial PCs.
Naturally build upon the work of others, especially with respect to leveraging Open-Source software.
Provide technical leadership and mentorship to junior developers, guiding them in software design and coding standards.
Conduct code reviews to ensure code quality, adherence to coding standards, and the implementation of best practices.
