Sabanto develops autonomous technology that enables existing agricultural tractors to perform field operations with minimal on-site operator involvement. Backed by DCVC (Data Collective).
About the role
We believe the agriculture industry's lack of labor will drive the adoption of Farming-as-a-Service companies using autonomous equipment. It's this very spirit that drives us to build a robotic machinery platform, delivering a service that brings unprecedented efficiency, productivity, and cost to farmers. Join our fast-growing, industrious, and passionate team of innovators as we continue to disrupt the multi-billion-dollar agriculture industry. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- Design, build and harden perception pipelines — obstacle detection, classification and tracking — that keep autonomous agricultural equipment operating safely in the field
- Integrate real sensors (cameras, LiDAR, radar, GNSS/IMU) onto tractors and implements, including drivers, intrinsic/extrinsic calibration and time synchronization
- Fuse multi-sensor data into a dependable world model that feeds navigation, safety, control and sequencing systems
- Evaluate, select and integrate third-party sensors and perception vendors, from bench prototype through production deployment
- Deploy and optimize computer vision models on edge compute within real-time latency, thermal and power constraints
- Build data collection, labeling and evaluation pipelines from field logs to measure and improve perception performance across crops, seasons, lighting and weather

As a Perception-focused Robotics Engineer at Sabanto, you will be building the sensing and perception systems that let autonomous tractors and other agricultural equipment see and understand the world around them. You will take real sensors from the bench to production field environments — dust, glare, rain, crop canopy and all — and turn their data into a reliable picture of the world that our navigation, safety and control systems can trust.
