At Aigen, our mission is to accelerate the transition to regenerative agriculture—with a pesticide-free, solar powered robotics platform.
Do you have a track record of solving complex engineering challenges and delivering incredible products? Join us to make a real world impact at the confluence of cutting edge robotic technology, agriculture, AI, and climate. 52% of agricultural land is degraded by current management practices, and 60-75% of original soil carbon has been lost in lands used for agriculture (according to the IPCC).
With $19M raised to date, we are backed by a suite of investors including NEA, GFC, AgFunder, and Bessemer Ventures
Your role will be to develop mechanical designs and systems for an innovative, autonomous all terrain vehicle. You will have the opportunity to take ownership of critical mechanical engineering projects for our scalable robot platform, and work closely with our electrical and software team. The ideal candidate will be a quick learner with the ability to understand complex systems, and take a creative approach to problem solving.
Aigen celebrates diversity in all its forms, and is an equal opportunity employer.
