What is the difference between Senior Robotics Engineer Localization vs Robotics Software Engineer?

AspectSenior Robotics Engineer LocalizationRobotics Software Engineer
Required CredentialsBachelor's or Master's in Robotics, Computer Science, or related; experience in localization algorithmsBachelor's or Master's in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related; programming skills
Work EnvironmentRobotics development labs, field testing, autonomous vehicle companiesSoftware development teams, robotics companies, research labs
Industry UsageAutonomous vehicles, mobile robots, dronesRobotics applications across industries, including manufacturing and service robots

While both roles involve robotics software development, Senior Robotics Engineer Localization specializes in developing algorithms for determining a robot's position within its environment, often requiring expertise in sensor fusion and mapping. Robotics Software Engineers focus broadly on creating software for robot control, perception, and navigation. The localization role is more specialized, whereas the software engineer role covers a wider range of robotics software development tasks.

Job description

About Orchard Robotics
Orchard Robotics is building the AI farmer - autonomous systems that help America's farms operate more profitably and sustainably than ever before. The company starts with AI-powered camera systems that collect the most valuable data for farmers, telling them everything about what is growing across millions of trees, vines, and plants on thousands of acres of farmland.
The platform, FruitScope OS, analyzes every piece of fruit across a farm - delivering accurate yield estimates, fruit counts, size projections, disease detection, bloom maps, and more. Today, Orchard's technology is trusted by some of the largest farms in the nation. Farmers use it every day to make critical decisions and run more efficient operations.
Orchard Robotics is a Series A company backed by Quiet Capital, Shine Capital, and General Catalyst, with over $25 million raised. The team is small, close-knit, and deeply motivated by the impact of the work - every system built means less food wasted and more people fed.
The Opportunity
To analyze billions of fruit on farms year-round, Orchard's tractor-mounted camera systems need to know precisely where they are and everything about what they are seeing. That is the core challenge this role owns.
Orchard is looking for a Senior Robotics Software Engineer to invent practical, robust solutions to real-world perception and localization problems. You will work directly with the CEO and the full team as an early employee, with high ownership over your work and direct visibility into the impact it creates. The environment is fast-moving and hands-on - this is a role for someone who wants to build, not coordinate.
What You'll Do
  • Develop robotics software running on tractor-mounted, AI-powered camera systems, including advanced perception and localization algorithms
  • Fuse sensor data from stereo depth, GNSS, and other sources to localize camera systems across complex farm environments
  • Implement intelligent systems to interpret large volumes of real-world data - each system collects terabytes of raw image data every day
  • Optimize code for fast edge computing performance in Python and C++
  • Support different parts of the software and hardware stack as a generalist when needed
You Should Have
  • 4+ years of industry experience in robotics, perception, or localization
  • Hands-on experience developing robotics software from the ground up
  • Expertise in one or more of: computer vision, stereo depth perception, pose estimation, object detection, multi-object tracking, image processing, or robotics software
  • Comfort taking on multiple responsibilities in a fast-paced, high-ownership environment
Nice to Have
  • Experience deploying and optimizing robotics algorithms on embedded compute such as NVIDIA Jetson
  • Familiarity with fusing data from GNSS, IMU, depth cameras, and other sensors

Compensation and Benefits
Base Salary: $150,000 - $250,000, depending on experience, plus 0.1% - 0.25% equity. Comprehensive health, vision, and dental coverage with 100% of premiums covered by the company.
