We are changing the agricultural world with autonomy at Bear Flag Robotics. Our team is building a fleet of autonomous farming tractors and we are looking for an experienced mechanical engineer who can help us design the hardware necessary for the tough agricultural environments we operate in. Our first generation HW fits onto existing tractors. Ideally, you have experience designing and testing packaging, enclosures, actuators and wiring harnesses for harsh environments. You need to be comfortable defining requirements and speccing hardware to meet these requirements. Familiarity with CAD and CAM software is a must as is experience designing for manufacturability. Proficient programming skills in C and Python are strongly desired. If you’re an enthusiastic self-starter who thrives in ambiguous environments, thinks outside the box, and wants to play a pivotal role in designing autonomous heavy equipment we encourage you to apply!
