Our mission at Seasony is to make indoor farming more profitable, scalable, and sustainable. Indoor farming (Vertical farms, greenhouses, insect farms, etc.) is a crucial piece of the puzzle to solve some of the challenges in the food and agricultural transformation the world is going through. Our flagship product, the autonomous mobile robot "Watney," helps indoor farms by automating core processes and provides growers with valuable data insights. The robot consists of a mobile platform, a lift, and a modular top. 

As Robotics Software Engineer, you will be developing software for the robot using the ROS middleware and deployed on a Linux-based computer. Experience working with hardware and embedded software development is a plus.  

 

Role responsibilities:  

  • Develop motion planning algorithms 

  • Design and implement behavioral trees or state machines 

  • Develop ROS drivers to interface with existing hardware components and microprocessor sub-systems 

  • Design and implement MIMO control algorithms for control of end effectors with multiple degrees of freedom 

  • Develop and tune PID and LQR controllers 

  • Implement low-level real-time controllers in embedded hardware 

  • Implement sensor fusion algorithms to enhance the localization system performance 

  • Develop methods and algorithms for system calibration including intrinsic and extrinsic sensor calibration 

  • Develop software and system test plans 

  • Support debugging and troubleshooting of deployed robots 

 

Must have:  

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Robotics, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.  

  • Proven experience as a software engineer in the robotics domain, with a minimum of 3 years of relevant experience

  • Experience with commonly used sensors for robots such as 2D, stereo, structured light and ToF cameras, 2D and 3D LiDARs, ultrasound, IR and radar 

  • Knowledge of optimal model-based controller design Experience with SLAM 

  • Professional experience using OpenCV 

  • Practical experience with deep learning for computer vision Familiarity with Isaac Sim 

  • Experience with hardware selection such as sensor, actuator or compute selection 

 

We offer:  

  • Quick development cycles 

  • Test-driven development 

  • Working with a large-scale heavy-duty robot involving both electrically and hydraulically driven actuators and consisting of several distributed sub-systems 

  • Responsibilities from day one and a significant impact on the software architecture and design decisions   

  • A flexible workplace with a versatile team   

  • A workplace in an innovation hub in Trifolium, Copenhagen.

Working at
Seasony

Seasony enables vertical farms to be profitable, scalable, and efficient. Since the company’s start in 2018, the cornerstone of our mission has been sustainability. We realized that in order for the world to embrace sustainable food practices, they need to be made profitable. For this reason, Seasony will provide low investment and intelligent automation solutions that will enable vertical farming as an established industry and therefore revolutionize future food production into a greener, healthier, and more localized direction. Our robot Watney™ is able to handle all the logistics in vertical farms and allows for more automation in the main growing process by gathering data and providing actionable information. It enables vertical farms to automate a large share of their activities, reducing labor costs by up to ~20-30%, and provides a platform for yield improvement as it automatically collects data, enabling precision farming. Seasony’s truly international and young team has experienced a constant growth trajectory as our product approaches a larger production phase, so we are in a regular position to recruit new team members, whether employees or interns. Our work culture is built on the spirit of encouraging new initiatives, openness, and a relaxed atmosphere. Team members are encouraged to take on responsibility, ownership of their own projects, and given the freedom to pursue new ideas, meaning we have high regard for people who share these ideals. We love expanding our network so feel free to reach out to us on our social media channels.
